191108-N-PC620-0482
191108-N-PC620-0482 GULF OF OMAN (Nov. 8, 2019) Chief Operations Specialist Peter Nonnon, a member of the visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) team assigned to the guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60), engages a simulated threat as part of a VBSS drill as Royal Navy of Oman sailors observe during International Maritime Exercise 2019 (IMX 19). The exercise is a multinational engagement involving partners and allies from around the world designed to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experiences across the full spectrum of defensive maritime operations. IMX 19 serves to demonstrate the global resolve in maintaining regional security and stability, freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce from the Suez Canal south to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait through the Strait of Hormuz to the Northern Arabian Gulf.
