By GlobalDataThe Formidable-class frigate is en route to Hawaii to participate in the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise.
The biennial Exercise RIMPAC is hosted by the US Navy and will be carried out in the waters off Hawaii from 17 to 31 August.
In a statement, Singapore’s Ministry of Defence said: “This is the seventh time that the RSN will be participating in the world’s largest international maritime exercise, and the RSN will be undertaking the role of commander of a task group during the exercise.
“The multilateral exercise RIMPAC and the MNGS are important avenues for the RSN to hone its competencies and strengthen interoperability and professional ties with other navies.”
The RSS Supreme crew tested negative for coronavirus (Covid-19) before their deployment.
This January, the RSN commissioned three of its newest Independence-class littoral mission vessels (LMVs) at Tuas Naval Base.
