    Two naval vessels are visible on the horizon of an open ocean under a partly cloudy sky. The left vessel appears to be a large amphibious assault ship or aircraft carrier, while the right vessel appears to be a smaller warship or destroyer. Both ships are underway, with the right vessel producing a visible wake.

    170717-N-ZW825-139 CORAL SEA (July 17, 2017) Amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) and Royal Australian Navy helicopter frigate HMAS Ballarat (FFH 155) transit off the port side of Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Sterett (DDG 104) during an air defense exercise as part of Talisman Saber 17. The exercise is intended to flex the “Up-Gunned Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG)” concept using cruiser and destroyer assets to protect the ESG against air threats. 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.
