Following the aircraft carrier, the Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54) left Japan. After USS Shiloh (CG 67) departed on 5 September 2023, USS Antietam (CG 54) and USS Robert Smalls (CG 62) remained the only U.S. missile cruisers deployed to Japan.
USS Robert Smalls (CG 62) and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer Shoup (DDG 86) participated in manoeuvres in the Sea of Japan this week. They were joined by Korean destroyers ROKS Yulgok Yi I (DDG 992), ROKS Dae Joyeung (DDH 997) and combat support ship ROKS Cheonji (AOE 57).
