The Crane, Tiger and Eagle at Play ! Exercise Malabar kicks off with US, Japanese, Indian navies

That's news to me.


Get this, her father has relations and provides data to 中国人民解放军国防大学 --- that is the University for the People's Liberation Army , in other words, a military university, for strategic research purposes. Turnbull's son, Malcolm, provides critical data no doubt to his wife, who in turn would probably leak data to her father, who is an academic in the 中国人民解放军国防大学.


Very complicated situation.

Honey trap! :coffee:

Precisely. Whatever strategic data Australia gets from either India, Japan, the United States --- let's just hope PM Turnbull isn't stupid enough to share some of that with his son ---- or else....well you know. Our strategic rivals will have an "ear" on that , too.

CHENNAI, India (NNS) - October 16, 2015 -- The littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth (LCS 3) completed the harbor phase of exercise Malabar in Chennai, India, Oct. 15.

Malabar 2015 is a complex, high-end warfighting exercise that has grown in scope and complexity over the years and is the latest in a continuing series conducted to advance multi-national maritime relationships and mutual security issues.

During the harbor phase in Chennai, the Fort Worth crew participated in subject matter expert and professional exchanges on maritime patrol and reconnaissance operations, surface and anti-submarine warfare, medical operations, damage control, helicopter operations and visit board search and seizure (VBSS) operations.

"The harbor phase training was quite beneficial to the crew," said Cmdr. Christopher Brown, commanding officer of Fort Worth. "This is the first time the crew of Fort Worth has had the opportunity to work and train with members of the Indian Navy and Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) and what we were able to learn from each other will go a long way towards advancing our interoperability."

Included during the harbor phase was a tour of the Fort Worth for sailors from the India Navy and JMSDF. During the tour, the sailors were given a presentation by sailors assigned to Helicopter Strike Squadron (HSM) 35, Detachment 3 on the MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned aircraft system and were briefed on the capabilities of Fort Worth.

2015 marks the first time that a U.S. Navy littoral combat ship has participated in Malabar and will be the first time one has operated in the Indian Ocean, which will occur during the sea phase portion of Malabar.

"We are looking forward to getting to sea and participating in a number of complex surface warfare exercises," said Brown. "This is the first time a littoral combat ship has participated in Malabar and the sea phase provides a unique opportunity for Fort Worth to operate hull-to-hull with ships from the Indian navy and JMSDF."

Fort Worth will participate in a number of events during the sea phase of Malabar, including liaison officer professional exchanges and embarks; photo exercise; submarine familiarization, high-value unit defense; air and mine defense exercises; surface warfare, communications, gunnery, search and rescue and VBSS exercises; medevac; helicopter cross-deck evolutions; underway replenishments; and anti-submarine warfare.

Malabar is an annual maritime exercise with the Indian Navy that includes the JMSDF in 2015. The JMSDF last participated in Malabar 2014 and Malabar 2009.

Commander, Task Force 73 and Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 7 staff conduct advanced planning, organize resources and directly support the execution of maritime exercises such as the bilateral CARAT series, the Naval Engagement Activity (NEA) with Vietnam, and the multilateral Southeast Asia Cooperation and Training (SEACAT) with Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.

good development... addition of japanese navy has made he exercise even more interesting and productive.. hope all 3 nations are earning fro each other.
 
Thanks for the thread, I read that there will be extension into the Bay of Bengal area of operations, remarkably it will stay within the Indian occupied part so not to prejudice upon Bangladesh's national sovereignty. Would it be too much @Nihonjin1051 if you could provide some specifics on the ships being operated by the three navies throughout the duration of naval exercise ? I thought it would enable us to better appreciate the capabilities. Let's keep this thread updated since it is a major military exercise .

It would be a pleasure of mine to accept your request, Sakura-Sama !

------

The Indian Navy will dispatch a Rajput-class destroyer, a Brahmaputra-class frigate, a Shivalik-class frigate, a fleet support ship and a Sindhughosh-class diesel-electric submarine. India and the United States will also each field one P-8 Maritime Surveillance aircraft.

Japan will only participate with the Akizuki-class destroyer Fuyuzuki, commissioned in March 2014. The Fuyuzuki is specifically designed for anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare and is also capable of engaging airborne threats.
The vessel is equipped with the ATECS battle management system, which has been called the “Japanese Aegis.” The Fuyuzuki also carries one Mitsubishi H-60 helicopter, an anti-submarine aircraft based on the Sikorsky S-70.

The U.S. Navy’s fleet will include the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, the Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine USS City of Corpus Christi, and the new littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth, as well as a Ticonderoga-class destroyer.

Rajputs look old. Need to be replaced.

Apart from Japan's addition and a few P-8(i)s, the whole exercise seems old:angry:.

The US sent an LA class submarine (SSN 705). Not an Improved LA. Not a Seawolf. Not a Virginia. A first generation LA that was launched in 1981!

It seems no one other than Japan, who even then only sent one ship, wants to reveal their true capabilities.

Probably testing waters. 4-5 years down the line, probably best ships will take part in this exercise.

Well we probably would have sent more , however, Malabar is happening the same time as JMSDF Fleet Week. So the entire Combined Fleet of the JMSDF is right now gathered.


 
I hope to see India in Battleship 2 :smokin:

This would be a great learning experience for the navies involved....hope to see increased co operation and alliance in the forthcoming days :tup:
