The littoral combat ship will be commissioned in Australia in July as military collaboration between the two countries deepens in the Indo-Pacific
The San Diego-based littoral combat ship Canberra will travel to Australia this summer where it will become the first American warship to be commissioned in an allied country, according to the Navy.
The ceremony also represents the outgrowth of a long, fruitful and deepening relationship between the two countries that goes back decades.During World War II, Australia served as a forward operating base for U.S forces in the Pacific. The assets included a newly-built American cruiser that was named after Canberra, the capital of Australia.
The close ties between the U.S. and Australia have surfaced many times over the years. That relationship was on public display in March when President Joe Biden and the prime ministers of Australia and the United Kingdomto announce that they would collectively work to provide Australia with more submarines. The effort is meant to counter a military build-up by China in the Indo-Pacific.
