Divers from U.S. and Royal Australian Navy, Japan Maritime Self Defense Force and German Armed Forces conducted dive operations training aboard the amphibious dock landing ship USS Pearl Harbor (LSD 52) while underway as part of the Southern California portion of the Rim of the Pacific 2016 exercise.

This is the first time a multi-nation diving evolution has taken place aboard Pearl Harbor. The training evolution consisted of mine warfare scenarios, including mine hunting, diver clearance searches and mine sweeping.
