    An aerial photograph shows a naval formation of approximately 10 vessels sailing in open ocean under partly cloudy skies. The ships are arranged in a broad V-shaped or echelon formation, suggesting a coordinated naval exercise or transit operation. At least one vessel appears to be a container/cargo ship, while the others appear to be military warships of varying sizes.

    PHILIPPINE SEA (May 24, 2019) – Ships and aircraft from Australia, Japan, Republic of Korea, and U.S. naval forces transit in formation as part of Pacific Vanguard (PACVAN). PACVAN is the first of its kind quadrilateral exercise between these four countries. Focused on improving the capabilities of participating countries to respond together to crisis and contingencies in the region, PACAVN prepares the participating maritime forces to operate as an integrated, capable, and potent allied force ready to respond to a complex maritime environment in the Indo-Pacific region.
