Lt. Earny Haruka, assigned to the “Golden Hawks” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 12, embarked aboard the U.S. 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19), trades command patches and stickers with Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) personnel aboard the Murasame-class destroyer JS Ariake (DD-109), during a bilateral Sailor exchange while underway in the Philippine Sea, Aug. 16, 2024. Members of the Blue Ridge and Ariake participated in a passenger swap after conducting a bilateral maneuvering exercise, giving a few members of each crew an opportunity to tour the other’s ship and strengthening the relationship between the U.S. Navy and JMSDF.
