RIMPAC 2024 brings more navies together than ever before for biennial warfare exercise
RIMPAC 2024 offered 29 national navies opportunities to train together for combat readiness in multiple domains, including underwater.

Shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) was selected in 2017 as preferred bidder for the programme.
