Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group the Egyptian navy's guided-missile frigate ENS Taba. The PASSEX exercise involves multiple ships operating in close proximity. The countries engaged in the operation in order to test interoperability, knowledge and navigation capabilities. "Our strike group's transit through the Red Sea with the Egyptian Navy is a great example of our continued commitment to regional partners," Rear Adm. Scott F. Robertson, commander, Carrier Strike Group 2, said in a Monday press release. "We look forward to future opportunities with our Egyptian counterparts to enhance trust, cooperation and mutual respect.

The Red Sea is a strategic passageway that must be protected to allow for international trade. The IKE CSG operates in the area of the U.S. 5th Fleet to ensure maritime security and stability from the Mediterranean through the western Indian Ocean, according to the Navy.
