Thomas Mangold, dean of international programs for U.S. Naval War College (NWC), Italian navy Vice Adm. Valter Girardelli, Indian navy Adm. Sunil Lanba, Canadian Royal navy Vice Adm. M. F. Lloyd, and Indonesian navy Adm. Ade Supandi, answer questions from the audience during the Chief of Naval Operations' 22nd International Seapower Symposium (ISS) at NWC in Newport, Rhode Island. Approximately 200 senior officers and civilians from 106 countries, including many of the senior-most officers from those countries' navies and coast guards, are currently attending the biennial event Sept. 20-23. This year's theme is "Stronger Maritime Partners," and will feature guest speakers and panel discussions to explore the common security challenges of maritime nations. First held in 1969, ISS has become the largest gathering of maritime leaders in history and provides a forum for senior international leaders to create and solidify solutions to shared challenges and threats in ways that are in the interests of individual nations.
