The world's largest naval exercise

The United States and 28 other partner nations this week began the world's largest naval combat exercise off the coast of Hawaii. As VOA correspondent Carla Babb reports, analysts say the exercise in the geographic area known as the "Pacific Ring of Fire" offers an opportunity for partner countries to work together while sending a strong deterrent message to China.

International cooperation on a high level. Forty ships, more than 150 aircraft, three submarines and 25,000 troops are taking part in this year's naval exercise in the Pacific Ocean known as RIMPAC.

The navies of different countries around the world are practicing a wide range of missions, from responding to natural disasters to the skills needed in warfare.

"Any country in the world that has interests in the Pacific and will adhere to the same values ​​is welcome to participate," said senior Chilean naval officer Alberto Guerrero, deputy commander of the RIMPAC exercise.

China has not been invited, as analysts say the warm welcome that the RIMPAC exercise gave Beijing a decade ago failed.

Markus Garlauskas heads the Indo-Pacific Security Initiative at the Atlantic Council.

"China was invited to participate in the exercise. But China took advantage of the occasion and backstabbed the United States and its allies, using the occasion as an opportunity to gather intelligence and try to have greater influence, something unacceptable."

Officials say the joint military exercise sends a strong message to China to stop bullying its neighbors.

"Not only will they face the United States in the country they are targeting, but they will have to face the response of many countries that have common interests in containing and confronting Chinese aggression as a threat to an Indo- Free and open Pacific," says Markus Garlauskas with the Atlantic Council.

This year, countries participating in the RIMPAC exercise will practice striking an old, decommissioned US warship, a rare chance to learn how powerful their weapons are to sink a major adversary in open sea. The training will continue until the beginning of August./VOA
