John C. Aquilino, Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet. Ten nations, 22 ships, 1 submarine, and more than 5,300 personnel are participating in Exercise Rim of the Pacific from August 17 to 31 at sea around the Hawaiian Islands. RIMPAC is a biennial exercise designed to foster and sustain cooperative relationships, critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region. The exercise is a unique training platform designed to enhance interoperability and strategic maritime partnerships. RIMPAC 2020 is the 27th exercise in the series that began in 1971.

context_page_description: The Jose Rizal-class frigate is a class of two multi-role guided missile frigates of the Philippine Navy. Officially known as HDF-2600 Frigate Design, the ships are heavily modified derivatives of the HDF-3000 Frigate Design from Hyundai Heavy Industries, specifically accommodated to fit the requirements of the Philippine Navy.
  The frigates will improve the capability of Philippine Navy's Offshore Combat Force which is mostly composed of aging fleet of retired ships transferred from other countries like the Gregorio del Pilar-class offshore patrol vessel.
