Matthew Hays, renders honors from the bridge wing to Royal Australian Navy Canberra-class landing helicopter docks HMAS Canberra (L02) while Fitzgerald departs the RAN naval base HMAS Kuttabul in support of Exercise Kakadu 2026, in Sydney Harbor, March 30, 2026.

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.
