230718-N-NT811-1001 SYDNEY (July 19, 2023) Mineman 2nd Class Tyler Arnold from the Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Canberra (LCS 30) defended as a player from the dock landing ship HMAS Canberra (LHD 02) drives to the basket while Mineman First Class Cole Haskell looks on during a game of basketball between HMAS Canberra and USS Canberra at Australian Naval Base HMAS Kuttabul, July 19. During the week, the crew of HMAS Canberra and USS Canberra conducted activities together including playing sport, ship tours and sharing their countries' culture and traditions. USS Canberra's commissioning emphasizes the more than 100 years of mateship built on friendship, history, democracy, and respect. The two countries have fought side-by-side in every major conflict since World War I. Canberra’s namesake is a reminder of the shared responsibility the U.S. and Australia have to each other as allies. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Mark D. Faram)
