Keen Sword 11

Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Amanda Longie from Busey, Mont. donates blood aboard USS George Washington (CVN 73) to the Armed Services Blood Bank Center in the Pacific Ocean, on Dec. 5, 2010. This is the first ever blood drive the GW has held while underway. GW is currently participating in Keen Sword 2011 with the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF). This exercise enhances the Japan-U.S. alliance which remains a key strategic relationship in the Northeast Asia Pacific region. Keen Sword caps the 50th anniversary of the Japan-U.S. alliance as an "alliance of equals." The exercise runs through Dec. 10. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Cheng S. Yang)
