U.S. Coast Guard crew members from Air Station Barbers Point were invited to fly in the Japan Coast Guard Sea Review this weekend and joined the crews from 18 Japan Coast Guard aircraft and 40 patrol vessels.

More than 900 people were invited to sail on a Japan Coast Guard cutter to watch a demonstration exercise.

It was the first time the U.S. Coast Guard had been asked to participate in the annual Sea Review.
