The Whidbey Island-class amphibious dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47) steams in a close formation of ships and submarines from international partnership nations during Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2014. Twenty-two nations, more than 40 ships and six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 20,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC Exercise from June 26 to Aug.1, in and around the Hawaiian Islands. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of the sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Dustin Kelling/Released)
