Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Canberra (LCS 30) will be ceremoniously commissioned at the Royal Australian Navy's Fleet Base East in Sydney, Australia, on July 22, 2023. The crew will also conduct a namesake visit to the Australian Captial Territory of Canberra on July 23, 2023. USS Canberra’s commissioning is the embodiment of more than 100 years of mateship, and a reminder of the shared responsibility the U.S. and Australia have to each other as allies. Our continued commitment to strengthen bilateral defense cooperation and collaboration with regional partners supports a shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
