150602-N-RJ834-009 PEARL HARBOR (June 2, 2015) Adm. Scott Swift (middle), commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet, helps break the cover of a ceremonial sake barrel with Rear Adm. Rick Williams (middle left), commander of Navy Region Hawaii; SungSoo Kim (left), deputy consul general Korea; Jeff Robinson (middle right), consul general of Australia and Toyoei Shigeeda (right), consul general of Japan during a reception aboard the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force training ship JS Kashima (TV 3508). The barrel-breaking ceremony or Kagami-Biraki, represents an opening to harmony and good fortune, as U.S. Navy leaders strengthen partnerships with our allies from Japan, South Korea and Australia. The JS Kashima is visiting Pearl Harbor as part of a three-ship Japanese training squadron that is on a routine 180-day deployment focused on seamanship and strengthening friendship.
