 Bilateral cooperation is a key to success for the United States Navy. Petty Officer Jeremy Graham shows us how sailors from USS Green Bay bond with their Japanese counterparts. Chief Petty Officers aboard USS Green Bay led chiefs from the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force on a tour of the ship in order to exchange knowledge and build relationships. The important piece overall for the mess is to build that relationship and build that friendship with our partners in the area. So it's just another one of those little things we can do as a mess just to welcome them and build that partnership. We have a great relationship with the chiefs here in Sausagebo. We like working with them and we're thankful that they invited us here for the tour. Whether it's through cultural exchanges or bilateral military operations, the Green Bay's chiefs mess will continue to build the bond between US Navy and Japanese sailors.
