Description:
- Two of the Philippine Navy’s biggest ships joined the United States, Japanese, Indian and Singaporean navies yesterday in a formation exercise as the vessels sailed as a group to participate in this year’s Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise in Hawaii. The BRP Davao Del Sur and BRP Andres Bonifacio, with a 700-man contingent, linked up with its counterpart foreign ships while passing through Johnson Atoll, a deserted 1,300-hectare atoll in the North Pacific Ocean located about 750 nautical miles southwest of Hawaii.
