US and Australia Strengthen Naval Cooperation in the West Philippine Sea

Описание: In the West Philippine Sea, naval power is measured not only by firepower, but by the ability to stay at sea. On November 4, the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt replenished at sea alongside Australia’s HMAS Stalwart. Officials described it as the first such operation between a Nimitz-class U.S. carrier and a Royal Australian Navy ship. The evolution demonstrated deeper allied logistics cooperation as the carrier group transited toward Singapore, before continuing toward the Middle East. China-linked commercial satellite imagery also tracked the group’s passage.
