PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 31, 2020) The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh (CG 67) transits the Philippine Sea 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.
