The Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group conducts joint maritime activity with Indian Forces
This joint maritime activity advanced interoperability between the two major defense partners and underscores their shared commitment to upholding a free and open Indo-Pacific. U.S. and Indian military forces focused on improving shared maritime domain awareness and information sharing; enhancing replenishment and logistics interoperability; and improving combined air-to-air capabilities.
Participating units include the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), Carrier Air Wing 11, and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Daniel Inouye (DDG 118). Indian Forces include the guided missile destroyer INS Visakhapatnam (D66) and replenishment ship INS Aditya (A59).
The Indian Navy routinely participates alongside U.S. Navy units in multilateral exercises across the Pacific, including Southwest Asia and littoral Africa. In addition to the group sail, the Indian Navy is also operating in leadership roles with the U.S. Navy and other allies and partners in the ongoing Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024 exercise in Hawaii.
USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) is currently operating with Carrier Strike Group Nine after conducting this joint maritime activity in the 7th Fleet area of operations.
7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy's largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
