    Japanese Helicopter Conducts Operations With USS Higgins

    PHILIPPINE SEA (Aug. 31, 2022) An MH-60K helicopter attached to Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s (JMSDF) Izumo-class multi-purpose destroyer JS Izumo (DDH 183) lands on the flight deck of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Higgins (DDG 76) in the Philippine Sea, Aug. 31. Higgins is participating in multi-lateral exercises in support of the JMSDF’s Indo-Pacific deployment, along with the Royal Australian Navy and Royal Canadian Navy. Routine multi-lateral exercises like this one reassure our allies and partners of the U.S. commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific. Higgins is assigned to Task Force 71/Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy’s largest forward-deployed DESRON and the U.S. 7th fleet’s principal surface force.
