230718-N-NT811-1004 SYDNEY (July 19, 2023) Lt. Nicolas Saavedra, chief engineer on the Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Canberra (LCS 30) Blue crew, drives to the basket during a basketball game between the USS Canberra and hosts from the dock landing ship HMAS Canberra (LHD 02), July 19. Australia hosted the USS Canberra alongside Fleet Base East ahead of the ship's ceremonial comissioning on July 22. 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)
