SOUTH CHINA SEA (Oct. 13, 2016) Cmdr. Garrett Miller, commanding officer of the guided-missile destroyer USS Decatur (DDG 73) watches as the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) conducts a replenishment-at-sea with the fleet replenishment oiler USNS Walter S. Diehl (T-AO 193) as part of interoperability drills between the Pacific Surface Action Group (PAC SAG) and Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group (BHR ESG). The drills are meant to enhance readiness of cruiser-destroyer ships to rapidly integrate with an amphibious task force to provide increased capability for amphibious operations in support of crisis response or disaster relief.
