Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Jonathan Duran stands look out watch from the bridge wing aboard U.S. 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) as the ship departs Changi, Singapore after a scheduled port visit, April 10, 2026. The U.S. and Singapore navies have an excellent and longstanding defense relationship. A testament to this relationship is the agreement to allow littoral combat ships to operate primarily from Singapore as a logistics and maintenance hub, as well as supporting regular port visits and logistics stops for other U.S. Navy ships. The Blue Ridge and embarked U.S. 7th Fleet staff conduct regular Indo-Pacific patrols to deter aggression, strengthen alliances and partnerships, and advance future warfighting capabilities.
