The training exercise was called Malabar 2020.…an annual event since 2002. Here’s more of the group….as we zoom-out from the top photo. (If you look closely, you’ll see the tip of a submarine’s conning tower poking above the water, and leaving a wake, to the far left of the third photo above.)
Over a dozens ships, a submarine, multiple aircraft, and other naval assets from the four allied navies participated in the two-week-long event.
This alliance of Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean powers projects a unified maritime encirclement of China as the Communist regime continues its aggressive, and sometimes hostile, encroachment on vast regions of the Indian OceanandWestern Pacific Ocean.

Simple wedding rings are my favourite as they truly encompass the infinity of the circle and, therefore, never-ending love.
My Rustique wedding rings are hammered and can be darkened or polished with a high shine. I can also stamp initials, letters or numbers inside to make them even more special.
I’m repeating myself, but it’s truly such an incredible honour to be trusted for the crafting of such meaningful pieces. . . . . #underthepyramids #underthepyramidstreasures #portablemagick #portablemagic #eternity #forever #weddingband #alliances #rusticweddingbands #handmadeweddingbands #darkweddingbands #darkwedding #folkwedding #darkaesthetic #sustainableweddingbands #sustainableweddingrings #sustainablewedding #darkwedding #darkacademia #cottagecore #darkcottagecore (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLa39mLtCA/?utm_medium=tumblr
