SANTA RITA, Guam, (June 20, 2023) – Capt. Sean Lewis, deputy commodore of Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 7 (right), presents a plaque to Singaporean Naval Officer Col. Daniel NG, commander of 1st Flotilla, during the Exercise Pacific Griffin 2023 Pre-Sail Conference aboard Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Shiloh (CG 67). Pacific Griffin is a biennial maritime exercise between the U.S. and Republic of Singapore. Conducted in the waters near Guam, the two navies enhance combined maritime proficiency while strengthening relationships during two weeks of dynamic training evolutions ashore and at sea. Littoral Combat Ships are fast, optimally manned, mission-tailored surface combatants that operate in near-shore and open-ocean environments, winning against 21st-century coastal threats. As the U.S. Navy’s destroyer squadron forward-deployed in Southeast Asia, DESRON 7 serves as the primary tactical and operational commander of littoral combat ships rotationally deployed to Singapore, Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) 7’s Sea Combat Commander and builds partnerships through training exercises and military-to-military engagements.
