    USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19)

    EAST CHINA SEA (March 29, 2021) – An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 12 prepares to land aboard Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) guided-missile destroyer JS Kongo (DDG-173) during a bilateral exercise in the East China Sea, March 29, 2021. These types of operations provide an opportunity for each partner nation to share their unique capabilities in shipboard maneuvering procedures, maritime skills and interoperability. Blue Ridge is the oldest operational ship in the Navy and, as 7th Fleet command ship, actively works to foster relationships with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
