    170818-N-DC385-072 CORAL SEA (Aug. 18, 2017) Landing craft air cushion (LCAC) 9, assigned to the Naval Beach Unit (NBU) 7, departs from well deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) while LCAC 10 begins its approaches in support of a certification exercise (CERTEX). Bonhomme Richard, flagship of the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group, is supporting a certification exercise (CERTEX) that will evaluate the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) on crisis response operations for a number of potential contingencies. CERTEX, taking place off the coast of and within Australia’s Shoalwater Bay Training Area, will test the MEU’s ability to conduct all of its core missions such as stability operations, non-combatant evacuation and disaster relief.
