    The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force tank landing ship JS Osumi (LST-4001) moves into formation during Iron Fist 23 in the Philippine Sea, Mar. 1, 2023. Iron Fist 23 provided an opportunity for ships of the USS America Amphibious Ready Group and the JMSDF to work together in coordinating large scale ship operations. Iron Fist is an annual bilateral exercise designed to increase interoperability and strengthen the relationships between the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, and the JMSDF.

    Two military naval vessels are operating in open ocean waters with mountainous coastline visible in the background under overcast skies. The larger vessel in the background appears to be a US Navy amphibious transport dock (LPD-class) ship, while the smaller vessel in the foreground appears to be a patrol or mine countermeasures vessel. The scene suggests a joint naval exercise or coordinated maritime operation.
