The first time the Dupuy de Lôme sailed to the Black Sea this year was from April 10 to 30. The vessel went back to the Black Sea, from May 14 to 29 and again from June 16 to July 5.

The French vessel joined the U.S. Navy Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Vella Gulf (CG 72) which entered the Black Sea on August 6th, for the third time this year.
