 USA Start Washington recently welcomed distinguished visitors for Exercise Talisman Sabre 2015. Talisman Sabre is well and truly underway, so a great opportunity to come on board just to see how carrier operations are being done in this part of the world. Guests were given insight into the ship and embarked airwings capabilities with a comprehensive tour of the ship. I'll certainly take away a unique experience for me and I know my colleagues in the Defence Forces get so much from these sort of contact. Talisman Sabre is a bi-annual exercise that provides an opportunity for the US and Australian Defence Forces to conduct operations in a combined, joint and inter-agency environment. For USA Start Washington, I'm Petty Officer Lonnie Lopez.
