PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 31, 2020) Naval Air Crewman (Helicopter) 2nd Class Cooper Shafer, from Waco, Texas, assigned to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 51, inspects the flight deck of the Ticonderoga-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.
