U.S. 7th Fleet Commander Vice Adm. Pat Hannifin meets with Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) Fleet Commander Rear Adm. Kwan Hon Chuong at the RSN Fleet Command Building in RSS Singapura – Changi Naval Base, Singapore, during a scheduled port visit, April 7, 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. 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.
