PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 26, 2020) The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force replenishment ship JS Mashu (AOE 425), left, the Takanami-class destroyer JS Makinami (DD 112), the Asahi-class destroyer Shiranui (DD 120) and the Asagiri-class destroyer JS Amagiri (DD 154) sail in formation behind the U.S. Navy Tichonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh (CG 67) during Keen Sword 21. Keen Sword is an example of the strength of the U.S.-Japan Alliance, the foundation of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region for more than 60 years. The relationships built and maintained during these events are critical to our shared capability to respond to contingencies at a moment’s notice.
