170420-N-ME988-496 5TH FLEET AREA OF OPERATIONS (April 20, 2017) Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Aaron Brooks directs a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) SH-60J Seahawk helicopter onto the flight deck aboard the amphibious dock landing ship USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) during Counter-piracy Validation Exercise 2017. The exercise provided an opportunity for the U.S. Navy to partner with ships from the Republic of Korea Navy, Royal Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) to enhance interoperability through communication and counter-piracy operation drills. Carter Hall, part of the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group, is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of maritime security operations designed to reassure allies and partners, and preserve the freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce in the region.
