PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 26, 2020) Sailors assigned to the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Barry (DDG 52) heave in a line during an underway replenishment with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Mashu-class replenishment ship JS Mashu (AOE 425) during exercise Keen Sword 21. Barry is the first U.S ship to conduct an underway replenishment with a JMSDF replenishment ship in the past two years. 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. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt. j.g Samuel Hardgrove)
