Ships will participate in basic and advanced level integration exercises throughout the first two sub-phases of the three-phase RIMPAC-24 sea phase.
The goal of RIMPAC-24, which consists of more than six weeks of rigorous training and activities, is to improve confidence and interoperability between friendly foreign navies. About 29 nations are taking part in the current multifaceted exercise, which is being led by the US Navy.
RIMPAC-24, the largest international maritime exercise in the world, offers a special training opportunity while encouraging and maintaining cooperative ties among participants, which are essential to maintaining the security of the world’s seas and the safety of sea lanes.
