    Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s minesweeper JS Yakushima (MSC-602) and minesweeper JS Hirashima (MSC-601) move into formation in front of the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA-6) during Iron Fist 23 in the Philippine Sea, Mar. 1, 2023. Iron Fist 23 provided an opportunity for ships of the USS America Amphibious Ready Group and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force to work together in coordinating large scale ship operations. Iron Fist is an annual bilateral exercise designed to increase interoperability and strengthen the relationships between the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, and the JMSDF.
