Abstract

Based on the open sources, article analyses the U.S. policy and execution of arms transfers to other states as a tool of the foreign policy; defines naval arms share in this process; tries to evaluate how distribution of the naval armament, assets and equipment produced in the U.S. supports its world-wide influence and prestige as a maritime nation; and analyses Ukrainian interests in receiving ships (vessels) from the USA in frames of Security Assistance Programs
