INDIAN OCEAN (Dec. 14, 2022) – Lt. Elise Meszaros, ship’s intelligence officer, uses binoculars to observe the waters during a straits transit aboard amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), Dec. 14, 2022. A straits transit requires a continuous watch of the sea to ensure no conditions, such as weather or other ships, could obstruct the ship’s course of travel. The Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, comprised of amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) and amphibious transport dock USS Anchorage (LPD 23) and USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations with the embarked 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit to enhance interoperability with Allies and partners and serve as a ready-response force to defend peace and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
