151017-N-MK881-439 BAY OF BENGAL (Oct. 17, 2015) Sailors assigned to Surface Warfare Mission Package, Detachment 4, embarked aboard the littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth (LCS 3), train with the Indian navy in an 11-meter rigid hull inflatable boat during a visit, board, search and seizure drill as part of Exercise Malabar. Currently on a 16-month rotational deployment in support of the Indo-Asia-Pacific Rebalance, Fort Worth is a fast and agile warship tailor-made to patrol the region's littorals and work hull-to-hull with partner navies, providing 7th Fleet with the flexible capabilities it needs now and in the future.
