PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 26, 2020) The Military Sealift Command underway replenishment oiler USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO 199), left, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) destroyer JS Ikazuchi (DD-107) are underway with U.S. Navy ships assigned to the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Escort Flotilla 1, Escort Flotilla 4, and the Royal Canadian Navy during Keen Sword 21. Keen Sword is an example of the strength of 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.
