In addition to the Arleigh-Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110) from the U.S., fifteen partner nation ships and seven helicopters took part in the exercise.
“Working together at sea is time well spent,” Cmdr. Andrew Klug, commanding officer, USS William P. Lawrence, said. “Investing time and training build our relationship and prepare our navies to work together during times of crisis.”
Following ADMM-Plus, USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110) is scheduled to participate in the International Maritime Defense Exposition (IMDEX) in Singapore May 14-16. IMDEX is the Indo-Pacific region’s flagship maritime defense show and provides an avenue for stakeholders, industry representatives and naval leaders to liaise and collaborate.
