Jordan Blake, assigned to the Marine Innovation Unit, fit a 3D printed component into a reverse osmosis gear in one of the main engine spaces aboard the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS Somerset (LPD 25) during Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024 while underway in the Pacific Ocean, July 16. Twenty-nine nations, 40 surface ships, three submarines, 14 national land forces, more than 150 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC in and around the Hawaiian Islands, June 27 to Aug. 1.
