CORAL SEA (July 10, 2017) The Henry J. Kaiser-class fleet replenishment oiler USNS John Ericsson (T-AO 194) fuels the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Sterett (DDG 104) during a replenishment-at-sea during Talisman Saber 17. Bonhomme Richard, part of a combined U.S., Australia and New Zealand expeditionary strike group, is undergoing a series of scenarios that will increase naval proficiency in operating against blue-water adversarial threats and in its primary mission of launching Marine forces ashore in the littorals. Talisman Saber is a biennial U.S.-Australia bilateral exercise held off the coast of Australia meant to achieve interoperability and strengthen the U.S.-Australia alliance.
