The USS Winston S. Churchill, a U.S. Navy destroyer, recently completed a joint mission with Guyana’s GDFS Shahous in the Caribbean Sea. This operation, which occurred on November 22, signals expanded maritime cooperation and supports U.S. Southern Command’s counter-drug operations and broader Department of War tasking, especially amid recent regional instability concerning the Essequibo region.
