Amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) hosted a hockey game on the flight deck between sailors from the "Iron Gator" and Marines from Canada while underway for the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise 2012. Twenty-two nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are
participating in RIMPAC exercise from June 29 to Aug. 3, 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 sea lanes and security on the world's
oceans. RIMPAC 2012 is the 23rd exercise in the series that began in
1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Marcus L. Stanley)
