The ASWCC meets every year to help the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) in its efforts to develop a extra built-in, synchronized, and long-term strategy to creating its Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities. A serious goal of the ASWCC is to verify current progress made on strengthening alliance ASW functionality.
ASWCC was established in August 2014 when seventh Fleet and CRF signed the ASW Enchancment Program Constitution and has since met yearly to supply oversight to Alliance stakeholders charged with enhancing ASW readiness within the Korean Theater of Operations.
“I’m honored to go to the ROK Fleet Command within the milestone 12 months of the seventieth anniversary of the ROK-U.S. Alliance, and focus on methods for maritime safety cooperation between our two nations,” mentioned Thomas, “The matters mentioned at present contribute enormously to strengthening the alliance between the ROK-U.S. navies, and ensures that this alliance will proceed for generations.”
Along with attending the ASWCC, Thomas took the chance to satisfy with ROK Sailors and management aboard the ROKN Dokdo-class amphibious assault ship ROKS Marado (LPH-6112), in addition to U.S. Sailors stationed in Korea as a part of Commander, Naval Forces Korea.
CNFK proudly celebrates its 70-year Alliance with our ROKN companions, persevering with to foster a permanent relationship of mutual respect and dealing collectively to mood mixed maritime warfighting functionality, interoperability, and readiness that has spanned generations.
