Sailors aboard the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54) heave on a line during a fueling-at-sea with the Royal Australian navy Afloat Support Force ship HMAS Sirius (O 266) in support of Talisman Sabre (TS) 2015.
TS 15 is a biennial exercise that provides an invaluable opportunity for nearly 30,000 U.S. and Australian defense forces to conduct operations in a combined, joint and interagency environment that will increase both countries’ ability to plan and execute a full range of operations from combat missions to humanitarian assistance efforts.
