The United States Navy’s Nimitz Carrier Strike Group (CSG-11) is currently on a visit to Thailand from April 24-29, in celebration of the 190th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The visit serves as a reaffirmation of the strong security partnership between the United States and Thailand.
Led by Rear Adm Christopher Sweeney, the strike group is being led by the flagship aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), which left Bremerton, Washington, in November 2022 for a routine deployment in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. The group is composed of the USS Nimitz, the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Bunker Hill, and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Decatur and USS Wayne E Meyer.
Apart from engaging in joint and integrated training operations across the region, the purpose of the visit is to provide U.S. sailors with an opportunity to explore the local culture. The visit to Thailand follows port visits to Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.
The United States has expressed its commitment to upholding the rules-based international order and working with its partners to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific region through this visit.
