According to a feature on The Telegraph India, this is something that the Indian Navy does not do with any other Navy except the U.S. Navy.

A statement from the Indian Navy reads: “Naval co-operation between India and USA epitomises the long-term strategic relationship between both countries. Both navies have, over the years, undertaken diverse bilateral activities such as training exchanges, information exchanges, and technical co-operation. Our nations have significant convergence of interests, especially in the maintenance of maritime security.”

Obviously US want to tame china its upto India what do with it, join US or not.

But there is the learning which you will not get anywhere other than working and exercise with the world's best navy with vast experience, latest technologies and assets.

It will highlight our strong and weak points and also help us to prepare for the future.

Like Red flag for air force its also a good experience to learn and improve.
