SINGAPORE (March 15, 2024) – Mineman 3rd Class Jose Tovar, from Douglas, Georgia, displays freshly traded patches and challenge coins with a Singapore Navy Sailor on the quarterdeck of Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Mobile (LCS 26while in port Singapore, March 15. Trading challenge coins, patches and uniform items is a long-standing military tradition that symbolizes mutual respect and friendship among service members of different nations. The traded items also serve as unique mementos from a Sailor’s time spent overseas. Mobile, part of Destroyer Squadron 7, is on a rotational deployment operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations to enhance interoperability with Allies and partners and serve as a ready-response force in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
