U.S. Navy Quartermaster 2nd class Matthew Gerchufsky, from Arizona, assigned to Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) uses a stadimeter to measure the range between Fitzgerald and Royal Canadian Navy combat support ship MV Asterix prior to a replenishment-at-sea as a part of Exercise Kakadu 2026, in the Tasman Sea, March 30, 2026. Exercise Kakadu is the Royal Australian Navy’s premier exercise and provides an opportunity for regional nations to participate in multinational maritime activities. U.S. 7th Fleet, the Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific. 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.
