Forging Friendship with Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force

On 23 Aug 2024, our Formidable-class frigate RSS Stalwart conducted a passage exercise (PASSEX) with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's (JMSDF) Asagiri-class destroyer JS Yūgiri. During the exercise, the ships conducted a series of communication serials and tactical manoeuvres to enhance mutual understanding.

Whilst ashore in Yokosuka, Officers from RSS <em>Stalwart</em> (far right) and JS <em>Yūgiri</em> (far left) came together to plan the exercise serials.
