A U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin Helicopter attached to Air Station Barbers Point in Kapolei, Hawaii is tied down to the deck of the Legend-class cutter USCGC Midgett (WMSL 757) (middle) while Philippine Navy guided-missile frigate BRP Antonio Luna (FFG-151) (left) and the Philippine Coast Guard BRP Melchora Aquino (MRRV-9702) (right) complete search patterns during the Maritime Cooperative Activity (MCA) in the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone, May 29, 2026. The U.S Navy routinely operates with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and partners and allies through MCAs to continually develop, exercise and enhance multi-domain tactical interoperability to uphold peace and security in the region. Midgett is forward-deployed and assigned to Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy’s largest DESRON and U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force. 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.
