USS The Sullivans will take part in Nato war games off Scotland
US warships have left port in the United States to take part in UK-led Nato war games off Scotland next month.
Guided-missile destroyers USS The Sullivans and USS Ross and fuel supply ship USNS William McLean will participate in Joint Warrior.
The exercise, which will also involve Canada and European nations, is held twice a year.
The first of this year's, which took place in April, was held on the biggest scale in exercise's history.
USS The Sullivans is named in honour of five brothers who were killed when the USS Juneau was sunk at the Battle of Guadalcanal in November 1942.
Fifteen countries took part in April's Joint Warrior.
More than 50 ships and 70 aircraft, some being based at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray and Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire, along with 13,000 personnel were involved.
