Yes. What we seek in our navy is to be globally deployable from any of our two major bases. There's no restriction on a warship from Maritime Forces Pacific ending up in the Mediterranean Sea on the NATO Reassurance mission. Likewise, there's no restriction on the east coast fleet. Ships of all fleets went to the Korean conflict.
We see the world as really big. The intellectual pivot and our relationship-building pivot is Indo-Asia Pacific. Just this last week we finished preparing Commodore Haydn Edmundson, a Canadian commodore in the Royal Canadian Navy, and a predominately Canadian navy staff, augmented by Australians, who have experienced the conflict zone in the North Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean, for deployment right around Christmastime to command Combined Task Force 150, which is responsible for maritime security operations and counterterrorism operations in the north Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Horn of Africa-type regions. This again reflects on our attempt to build relationships and have influence. Our expertise and our respect is not taken for granted. It's accepted over there that we are capable commanders of that task force. This is our third round of command with Australia as a key partner.
Here we're using people as capital to have influence in this very broad ocean area and building those foundational relationships.
