DARWIN, Australia (May 27, 2024) – Submarine tender USS Emory S. Land (As-39) arrived in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, for a regularly scheduled port call, May 28. Darwin is the first port call of
Emory S. Land’s current deployment, which began May 17.
“We’re thrilled to visit Darwin and to work closely with our Australian partners,” said Capt. Brent Spillner, the ship’s commanding officer. “We already have a number of Royal Australian Navy sailors onboard as part of the Personnel Exchange Program, but bringing the tender here lets us cooperate at a unit-to-unit level and rehearse the interoperability needed to support each other’s forces around the globe.”
