240607-N-WM182-1002 PHILIPPINE SEA (June 7, 2024) The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Helicopter destroyer JS Izumo (DDH 183) steams behind the U.S. 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) as they participate in exercise Valiant Shield 2024 in the Philippine Sea, June 7. Exercises such as Valiant Shield allows the Indo-Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with our allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Joint Force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. U.S. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy's largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
