US Ambassador to Bosnia Douglas McElhaney, who attended the event, said that the US Army and Navy had played an important role in the establishment of peace and in reconciliation in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
He underlined strong military relations between the two countries, adding that their soldiers were currently serving together in Iraq.
Bosnian Presidency Chairman Sulejman Tihic said that the friendship between Bosnia and the USA had a lasting value.
The visit by the USS destroyer Ramage confirms Bosnia's sovereignty on land and in its territorial waters in the Adriatic, Tihic said.
The Ramage will remain in the Bay of Neum until the end of this week.
