    230720-N-NT811-1005 SYDNEY (July 20, 2023) A porthole in the mission bay of the Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Canberra (LCS 30) frames the Sydney Opera House and Harborur Bridge, July 20. Australia hosted the USS Canberra alongside Fleet Base East ahead of the ship's ceremonial commissioning 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)
