    RIO DE JANEIRO (Sept. 8, 2022) U.S. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro is greeted by U.S. Navy Capt. J. Patrick Thompson III, commanding officer of the San Antonio-class transport dock USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19), after he boarded the ship for a visit during UNITAS LXIII Sept. 8, 2022. UNITAS is the world’s longest-running maritime exercise. Hosted this year by Brazil, it brings together multinational forces from Brazil, Cameroon, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Guyana, Jamaica, Mexico, Namibia, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and the United States conducting operations in and off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The exercise trains forces to conduct joint maritime operations through the execution of anti-surface, anti-submarine, anti-air, amphibious and electronic warfare operations that enhance warfighting proficiency and increase interoperability among participating naval and marine forces.
