22040-N-VI910-3161 PHILIPPINE SEA (April 8, 2022) An SH-60K Sea Hawk helicopter, assigned to Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), prepares to land on the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). During bilateral exercises between Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and JMSDF, the two navies strengthened all-domain awareness and maneuvers across a distributed maritime environment. Bilateral operations like this one reassure our allies and partners of the commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
