The U.S. Navy was represented by the littoral combat ship Coronado, the destroyer Benfold, and the Military Sealift Command\u2019s oiler USNS Pecos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A U.S. Navy multimission P-8 Poseidon aircraft and a Republic of Singapore Air Force Sikorsky S-70B Seahawk naval helicopter embarked on the Supreme acted as supporting air assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RSN also took the opportunity to conduct unilateral live-firings on the sidelines of Pacific Griffin. Both RSN frigates each fired a single designated time-on-target, anti-ship RGM-84 Harpoon missile, simultaneously hitting the same target. A Singaporean MoD spokesman told Defense News that the target engaged by the missiles was located over the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/training-sim\/2017\/08\/25\/in-an-lcs-first-drone-support-targeting-mission-for-missile\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/170822-N-GR361-082.JPG.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">In an LCS first, drone supports targeting mission for missile<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. Navy has for the first time used a UAV to provide over-the-horizon targeting information and damage assessment for a missile fired from onboard a ship.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pacific Griffin highlights the longstanding maritime partnership between the U.S. and Singaporean navies through 23 years of annual bilateral exercises. Capt. Lex Walker, of the U.S. Navy\u2019s Destroyer Squadron 7, said the exercise \u201cprovided a unique opportunity for both navies to interact and engage in a broader and more complex range of maritime scenarios and operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commander of the RSN\u2019s First Flotilla and commanding officer of 185 Squadron, Col. Saw Shi Tat, highlighted the value of the exercise in enhancing professionalism and interoperability among the two navies, noting that \u201cthe operating environment in Guam gave us the opportunity to hone our edge and push our operational envelopes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Southeast Asian island nation of Singapore is a close security cooperation partner of the United States and has been a strong supporter of the U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific, hosting a rotational deployment of littoral combat ships to the region as well as logistics support units and facilities for transiting U.S. aircraft and ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategically located at the southern end of the Strait of Malacca where it meets the South China Sea, Singapore is itself heavily dependent on the maritime trade of which a significant portion transits the straits annually, and its well-equipped armed forces play an important role in ensuring the maritime security of the vital trade route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, its small land area and congested waters means it lacks the space it needs to train effectively, and Singapore now carries out its largest and most complex training exercises overseas. It also participates in multilateral military exercises involving the United States such as Red Flag in Nevada and Alaska, and the Rim of the Pacific naval exercises off Hawaii. Singapore has also taken notice of the potential basing of a fighter detachment in Guam, where its F-15 fighters have recently trained together with the U.S. Air Force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pacific Griffin highlights the longstanding maritime partnership between the U.S. and Singaporean navies through 23 years of annual
