CORAL SEA (July 19, 2017) Sailors aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Sterett (DDG 104) line up rounds for the MK 45 five-inch gun in the deep magazine during a naval surface fire support 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. Talisman Saber is a biennial U.S. and Australia bilateral exercise held off the coast of Australia meant to achieve interoperability and strengthen the U.S. and Australia alliance.
