Recently, North Korea fired missiles one after another toward the East Sea, where a US aircraft carrier is located.

The ROK and U.S. naval forces responded head-to-head by revealing the training footage.

The Japanese Self-Defense Forces will join this joint exercise tomorrow (30th), so the controversy continues.

The US carrier Ronald Reagan takes the lead and leads the ROK-US Combined Fleet.



On the left side of the carrier are the Korean destroyers Gwanggaeto the Great and Seoaeryu Seongryong, and on the right are the US Navy cruisers Chenslersville and destroyer Benfold.



The ROK and U.S. Navy repeated a four-day joint exercise to identify, search for, and track enemy scorers.



[Kwak Kwang-seop / Commander of Naval 1st Naval Combat Team: Through this exercise, we will further improve the ability to conduct joint operations between the two navies, and we will firmly maintain the combined naval defense posture based on the solid ROK-U.S. alliance.



] When North Korea fired ballistic missiles twice into the East Sea during that time, the US military responded by releasing an unscheduled training video.



The ROK-U.S. Combined Fleet will continue its anti-submarine training by moving to the sea near Dokdo from tomorrow.



This includes the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) ships.



It is the first time in five years for both the ROK-U.S. carrier-carrier combined exercise and the South Korea-U.S.-Japan anti-submarine exercise.



The South Korean, U.S., and Japanese naval forces are engaged in anti-submarine training in the East Sea, in the midst of a move to prepare for the launch of a submarine-launched ballistic missile SLBM from the Sinpo submarine base in North Korea.



In response to the controversy over whether it would be appropriate for a Japanese warship to approach Dokdo near Dokdo in the cold South Korea-Japan relationship, the Ministry of National Defense announced that the training site was selected in consideration of the expected sea area for North Korean submarine activity in order to restore security cooperation between South Korea, the US and Japan.
