"The U.S. 7th Fleet takes regular steps to advance our interoperability with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific, as we did during this week's bilateral operation with our longstanding French Navy allies," Vice Adm. Fred Kacher, the commander of the Seventh Fleet, said. The activities involved the USS Dewey (DDG 105), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer from the US Navy, alongside the FS Bretagne (D655), a frigate of the French Navy's Aquitaine class, according to the statement. The vessels carried out maneuvers in formation, practiced joint communications and executed simulated refueling operations while at sea, the statement said.
