More
than 50 ships, 200 aircraft, and 22,000 sailors, airmen, soldiers, Marines
and Coast Guardsmen participated in RIMPAC events in waters off the coasts
of the Hawaiian Islands. The exercise involved a wide variety of land-
and carrier-based aircraft, amphibious operations, ground operations,
surface combat, submarine and anti-submarine warfare, live-fire, and other
support operations.
