USS Pinckney departs Singapore after ship repair and maintenance exercise

Cryptologic Technician (Technical) 3rd Class Daniel Golden performs maintenance on an electrical panel aboard Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Pinckney (DDG 91), as part of ship repair and maintenance exercise at Changi Naval Base, Singapore, Jan. 27, 2026. Ship repair and maintenance exercise is designed to rehearse coordination and execution of ship damage repair from forward locations within the Indo-Pacific region, strengthening ties with the skilled workforce within allied and partner countries. A testament to the excellent and longstanding defense relationship between Singapore and the U.S. is the agreement allowing U.S. Navy ships to transit in Singapore for logistics and maintenance requirements.
