    230718-N-NT811-1003 SYDNEY (July 19, 2023) Chief Boatswain’s Mate Robert Brown makes an under-the-basket layup during a basketball game between USS Canberra (LCS 30) and HMAS Canberra (LHD 02) at the Australian Naval base HMAS Kuttabul, July 19. Australia hosted the USS Canberra alongside Fleet Base East ahead of the ship's ceremonial commissioning on 22 July. During the week, the crew of HMAS Canberra and USS Canberra conducted activities together including playing sport, ship tours and sharing their countries' culture and traditions. USS Canberra's commissioning emphasizes the more than 100 years of mateship built on friendship, history, democracy, and respect. The two countries have fought side-by-side in every major conflict since World War I. Canberra’s namesake is a reminder of the shared responsibility the U.S. and Australia have to each other as allies. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Mark D. Faram)
