The guided-missile destroyer USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109) completed the underway training portion of Exercise Sea Breeze 2012 (SB12), July 19.
During the training, Jason Dunham, Ukrainian naval vessels Hetman Sahaydachniy (U 130) and Konstantin Olshansky (U 402) participated in ship handling, underway replenishment, towing, live-fire, boarding, and flight operations exercises with other participating nations.

Bretz. “We are proud to have been able to take part in Sea Breeze 2012 with all of the participating nations, and are especially proud to have been able to co-host the event with our Ukrainian partners.”
