 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Tauberel Morris. The world's largest international maritime exercise, Rim of the Pacific, or RimPak 2014 concluded August 1st. Sailors and Marines from 22 nations came together to conduct operations and scenarios with 49 ships and more than 200 aircraft in the waters of Hawaii and Southern California. Scenarios included simulated beach landings, anti-submarine operations and medical exercises. This year, Hospital Ship USNS Mercy and Chinese Hospital Ship Peace Arc participated in RimPak, marking the first time hospital ships were used during the exercise. This year is also the first year the People's Republic of China's People's Liberation Army Navy participated. Since 1971, RimPak has helped foster relationships critical to ensuring safety on the world's oceans.
