SOUTH CHINA SEA (Oct. 13, 2016) An AS-332 Super Puma helicopter, attached to the Military Sealift Command dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Washington Chambers (T-AKE 11), conducts flight operations with the guided-missile destroyer USS Decatur (DDG 73) as part of interoperability drills between the Pacific Surface Action Group (PAC SAG) and the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group (BHR ESG). The drills are meant to enhance readiness of cruiser-destroyer ships to rapidly integrate with an amphibious task force to provide increased capability for amphibious operations in support of crisis response or disaster relief.
