On July 18, 2024, sailors aboard the USS Fitzgerald conducted a simulated launch of a naval strike missile as part of Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) in the Pacific Ocean. RIMPAC, the world’s largest international maritime exercise, brings together forces from 29 countries to engage in collaborative training exercises. This event provides participants with a unique opportunity to enhance their operational skills while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among the participating nations.–Photo By: Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Jordan Jennings
