port visit
Ship docks briefly
A port visit is a scheduled stop by a naval vessel at a foreign or domestic harbor, typically for resupply, crew rest, or diplomatic purposes.
These visits range from routine logistics to shows of military presence and goodwill: The carrier's port visit to Manila strengthened bilateral ties.
Sailors often get shore leave during port visits.
