Chennai: US Navy’s aircraft carrier Nimitz, guided missile destroyers, Posedion aircraft and fast attack submarine would feature in ‘Malabar 2017’, the week-long joint naval exercise by India, United States and Japan in Bay of Bengal.
An US Consulate release here today said Malabar-2017 has grown in scope and complexity over the years to address the variety of shared threats to maritime security in the Indo-Asia Pacific.
The exercise featured both ashore and at-sea training off the eastern coast of India in the Bay of Bengal.
