SEA OF JAPAN (April 12, 2022) Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Kongō-class guided-missile destroyer JS Kongō (DDG 173) sails in formation during a U.S.-Japan bilateral exercise. During bilateral exercises between Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and JMSDF, the two navies strengthen all-domain awareness and maneuvers across a distributed maritime environment. Bilateral operations like this one reassure our allies and partners of the U.S. commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
