Quartermaster Seaman Damien Dobbs, assigned to Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62), uses a stadimeter to measure distance from the Philippine Navy Jose Rizal-class guided-missile frigate BRP Jose Rizal (FF-150) during a Maritime Cooperative Activity (MCA) in the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ), Oct. 31, 2025. The U.S. routinely conducts MCAs with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other partners and allies to continually develop, exercise and enhance multi-domain tactical interoperability to uphold peace and security in the region. Fitzgerald is forward-deployed and assigned to Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy’s largest DESRON and U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force.
