MAKASSAR, Indonesia

MAKASSAR, Indonesia (June 8, 2023) The littoral combat ship USS Manchester (LCS 14) participates in the Multinational Naval Exercise Komodo (MNEK) 2023 Channel Transit. MNEK 2023 is a military exercise held by Indonesia to establish cooperation in the region, especially in carrying out disaster management and humanitarian assistance operations. Littoral combat ships are fast, optimally manned, mission-tailored surface combatants that operate in near-shore and open-ocean environments, winning against 21st-century coastal threats. Manchester, part of Destroyer Squadron 7, is on a rotational deployment operating in the U.S. 7TH Fleet area of operations to enhance interoperability with Allies and partners and serve as a ready-response force in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
