PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 7, 2022) The Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53) and the Lewis B. Puller-class expeditionary sea base USS Miguel Keith (ESB 5) sail in formation during exercise Noble Fusion. Ships of the America and Essex Amphibious Ready Groups and the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, alongside the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, participate in exercise Noble Fusion. Noble Fusion highlights that Navy and Marine Corps forward-deployed stand-in naval expeditionary forces can rapidly aggregate Marine Expeditionary Unit/Amphibious Ready Group teams at sea, along with a carrier strike group, as well as other joint force movement, and create advantage for U.S., partner and allied forces. Naval Expeditionary forces conduct training throughout the year, in the Indo-Pacific, to maintain readiness. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Aleksandr Freutel)
