Singapore, US navies complete inaugural exercise off Guam




SINGAPORE: The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the United States Navy (USN) have completed the inaugural bilateral Exercise Pacific Griffin in the waters off Guam, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) said on Monday (Sep 4).
The exercise which was held between Aug 19 and Sep 2 was part of ongoing efforts to explore new training spaces and opportunities for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), MINDEF added.

"With the vast training space available in the waters off Guam, Exercise Pacific Griffin provided the RSN with the opportunity to conduct high-end exercises of substantial scope and complexity," said MINDEF in its press release.

"The exercise featured advanced warfare training between the RSN and USN, across the full-spectrum of anti-submarine, anti-surface and anti-air warfare."

Colonel Saw Shi Tat, Commander First Flotilla and Commanding Officer of 185 Squadron, highlighted the value of the exercise in enhancing professionalism and interoperability among the two navies.

He said: “The operating environment in Guam gave us the opportunity to hone our edge and push our operational envelopes. It also allowed us to operate with our friends and partners from around the world, including the USN.”



Underscoring the excellent and long-standing bilateral defence relationship, Commodore of the USN’s Destroyer Squadron 7 Captain Lex Walker said: “The US Navy deeply values our close partnership with the RSN.

"Exercise Pacific Griffin provides a unique opportunity for both navies to interact and engage in a broader and more complex range of maritime scenarios and operations."
He added: "The complexity and sophistication of Exercise Pacific Griffin is a direct result of the many accomplishments and lessons we’ve learned from working together with the RSN for many years."



Planning for Exercise Pacific Griffin - which involved more than 850 personnel from Singapore and the US - began in 2016.
Besides the frigates RSS Stalwart and RSS Supreme, the RSN also participated with an Endurance-class landing ship tank RSS Endurance. Naval assets from the USN included the littoral combat ship USS Coronado, Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Benfold and USNS Pecos, MINDEF said.

Supporting air assets included the USN’s P-8 Poseidon aircraft and Hawker Hunter fighter jets and a Republic of Singapore Air Force Sikorsky S-70B Seahawk naval helicopter embarked on RSS Supreme.
The RSN also took the opportunity to conduct unilateral live-firings on the sidelines of Exercise Pacific Griffin.

US could sell South Korea billions of dollars of arms amid tensions



WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday (Sep 4) told his South Korean counterpart Washington was willing to approve arms sales worth "many billions of dollars" to Seoul following Pyongyang's test of what it said was a miniaturised hydrogen bomb.

President Trump "provided his conceptual approval for the purchase of many billions of dollars' worth of military weapons and equipment from the United States by South Korea," said the White House, without providing details of any specific new contracts.

The United States sold arms worth nearly US$5 billion to South Korea between 2010 and 2016, according to an analysis by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

South Korea was the fourth biggest buyer of US arms in that period, behind Saudi Arabia, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.



Both leaders "underscored the grave threat that North Korea's latest provocation poses to the entire world," and "agreed to maximize pressure on North Korea using all means at their disposal," according to a readout of the call.

The White House statement also confirmed an earlier announcement by Seoul that the United States would lift restrictions on South Korean missile payload capabilities.

Seoul was previously restricted to a maximum warhead weight of 500 kilogrammes on its ballistic missiles, according to a bilateral agreement with the United States signed in 2001.

The United States on Monday launched a bid at the UN Security Council to quickly slap the "strongest possible measures" on North Korea in response to its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, but China and Russia argued that diplomatic talks were needed to address the crisis.
