 The USS Howard. It's one of three U.S. naval ships off the coast of Thailand and the only U.S. destroyer taking part in cooperation of float readiness and training. This exercise is a demonstration that we value the relationship with our partners and in Thailand we have the longest standing treaty 181 years this year as a partnership in this region. Commander Fay and his crew will be demonstrating anti-submarine, air and ground support warfare during this exercise. So we have a five inch gun and we're trained to be able to put rounds on the beach to support putting our Marines on the beach so they don't get harmed. As sailors take some time to get to know their Thai counterparts Commander Fay explains the heart and soul behind exercises like this. At the end of the day it's about trust and if you don't know the individual you're talking with and what they bring to the table it's harder to build that trust.
