Acting Chief of Naval Operations Adm. James Kilby spoke to leaders from the Royal Australian Navy, the British Royal Navy, and the U.S. Navy to discuss the long-standing partnership between the three navies and the continued integration and interoperability of their forces, at the inaugural tri-lateral Naval Capabilities and Science and Technology Talks, April 3.
The talks between the navies centered on ways to increase warfighting capabilities, advance naval strategy and tactics efforts to increase lethality in operations and strengthen long-term warfighting advantage through a series of high-tempo working groups and panels.
The senior naval leaders also highlighted security concerns in the Indo-Pacific region, their shared interest in advancing defense industrial base collaboration, and key regional partnerships to deter aggression and maintain peace and stability.
Australia and the UK have been two of the United States' greatest allies for more than a century. The trilateral staff talks, in addition to the AUKUS partnership, are an example of the depth and breadth of the relationship.
