Mine countermeasures ship USS Avenger (MCM 1) departed Sasebo, Japan, April 25 for a deployment to the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility in support of Commander Task Force 76, U.S. Navy said. Avenger recently completed a Navy Shipboard Inspection Survey (INSERV) and will begin its training cycle underway.
Avenger is forward-deployed to Sasebo in support of the U.S. 7th Fleet, which has doubled its mine countermeasure capability in the last two years, significantly increasing forward-presence in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility.
The deployment is Avenger's first since being forward-deployed to Sasebo.
