 Teamwork is key to mission success when working with foreign navies. Seaman James Hunt tells us how USS Green Bay and Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force sailors are getting to know each other better. Junior officers from the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force toured USS Green Bay to see a US Navy ship for the first time. We had a crew onboard here and it was a very good experience for us because most of us have never been to a US ship. The tour gave the Ensign's insight into how America's Navy operates and allowed USS Green Bay sailors to build bonds with their Japanese counterparts. By setting the groundwork for interoperability early in these junior officers' careers, service members from both countries can continue to strengthen the relationship between the US Navy and the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force.
