LHL and Ang Moh Trump and Thai junta among the Dead set enemies against Beijing Moscow gang, timed precisely the Beijing 1-Belt-1-Road summit, to demonstrate their resolve to BLOCKADE Xijinping's Sea Silk Road.

They are sending signals of WARS and HOSTILITIES against each other very clearly.

LHL is asking Putin Xijinping to nuke SG52 before they could use the passage of Straits Malacca to do their businesses.

SOUTH CHINA SEA (NNS) -- Ships from the Republic of Singapore navy, Royal Thai navy and U.S. Navy completed a three-day multilateral Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) exercise in the South China Sea May 12.

The three-day exercise included a broad spectrum of naval competencies and maritime security training aimed at enhancing cooperation and interoperability amongst the three navies. The navies are long-time maritime partners under the CARAT series, which began in 1995 with Thailand and Singapore as original participants in the exercise series. The multilateral engagement follows initiative to make some phases of the CARAT exercise series multilateral.

"Multilateral naval exercises provide important opportunities to improve our maritime partnership with the Royal Thai and Republic of Singapore navies, by enhancing our ability to work closely together in cooperative security missions," said Cmdr. Doug Meagher, commanding officer, USS Coronado (LCS 4). "Our Sailors certainly are learning extensively from this tremendous experience."

The Formidable-class frigate RSS Intrepid (FFS 69) represented the Republic of Singapore navy at sea, and the Naresuan-class frigate HTMS Naresuan (FFG 421) participated from the Royal Thai navy. Participating U.S. ships included the Arleigh Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Sterett (DDG 104) and the littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4).

RSN's commanding officer of Intrepid, Lt. Col. Leon Chua, highlighted the value of the multilateral CARAT.

"Through multilateral CARAT, the three countries got to operate together. It not only enhanced our understanding of each other, but also further strengthened our relationship built over the years," said Chua.

While operating together at sea the ships completed a robust schedule including divisional tactic maneuvers; visit, board, search and seizure training; joint flight operations; and communications drills.

"We were pleased to operate at sea with our Republic of Singapore and United States Navy partners during this exercise," said Capt Chaksawat Saiwong, commanding officer, HTMS Naresuan. "This was meaningful training for all three navies and it deepens our long-standing maritime partnership between our nations."

As the premier naval engagement in South and Southeast Asia, CARAT provides a regional venue to address shared maritime security priorities, enhance interoperability among participating forces, and develop sustained naval partnerships with nations across South and Southeast Asia.

"Multilateral events are important in building strong relationships with our regional partners," said Cmdr. Claudine Caluori, commanding officer, USS Sterett. "Operating closely with the Royal Thai and Republic of Singapore navies allows us to enhance security in the region and our Sailors are dedicated to working with and learning from these important and necessary exercises."

The participating ships will join the International Maritime Defense Exhibition in Singapore May 15-18.

As U.S. 7th Fleet's executive agent for theater security cooperation in South and Southeast Asia, Commander, Task Force 73 and Destroyer Squadron 7 conduct advanced planning, organize resources, and directly support the execution of maritime exercises and engagements, such as Pacific Partnership, the bilateral CARAT series, the Naval Engagement Activity (NEA) with Vietnam and the multi-lateral Southeast Asia Cooperation and Training (SEACAT) with Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
