HMAS Ballarat felt the full force of eight United States Navy EA-18G Growlers aircraft flying overhead during its current Regional Presence Deployment (RPD).

Demonstrating the strength of the Australia-United States alliance the exercise provided valuable and realistic training for both the ship's company and the US pilots from VAQ 132 Squadron (Scorpions).

HMAS Ballarat is currently on a three-month RPD to South-East and North-East Asia.
