Col. Ng Yen Meng, Deputy Fleet Commander, Republic of Singapore Navy and Rear Adm. Kyle Gantt, deputy commander, U.S. 7th Fleet sign staff talk minutes aboard the U.S. 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) as part of a scheduled port visit to RSS Singapura – Changi Naval Base, Singapore, April 6, 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.
