Hawaii is famous for its sun and surf. But it is not for the sunshine that the naval vessels of 22 nations are heading there.
They are taking part in the world's largest multinational maritime exercise, the biennial Rim of the Pacific exercise starting June 29.
The number of participants this year is a big increase on the seven - Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States - that took part in the first RIMPAC exercise in 1971.
