Lt. Cmdr. Phillip Kunze and Ensign John Overstreet, Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf crewmembers, give a tour to Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force personnel aboard the Bertholf in Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, June 5, 2023.

The U.S. Coast Guard has a long-standing relationship of interoperability with Japan through operations like North Pacific Guard and training exercises, leading to a continued free and open Pacific. Engagement with the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force demonstrates unity and strengthens rule-based order in the North Pacific. - U.S. Coast Guard photo by Lt. Cmdr. Scott McCann
