The Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship USNS Washington Chambers (T-AKE 11), left, conducts a replenishment-at-sea with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Izumo-class multi-functional destroyer JS Kaga (DDH 184) while underway in the Pacific Ocean, Nov 18, 2024. JS Kaga recently completed F-35 Lighting II aircraft developmental testing in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations. An integral part of U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. 3rd Fleet not only leads naval forces in the Indo-pacific, but also provides the realistic, relevant training necessary to flawlessly execute our Navy’s role across the full spectrum of military operations-from combat operations to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. U.S. Fleet works together with our allies and partners to advance freedom of navigation, the rule of law, and other principles that underpin security for the Indo-pacific region.
