Starting on the left column of the above photo is

USCG Stratton WMSL752, PLAN Xian 153, FS Prairel F371, CNS Almirante Cochrane FF05 , Either USS Chung Hoon DD693 OR USS Stockdale DDG106 = 5 Ships

HMCS Calgary 385 OR HMCS Vancouver 331, USS William P. Lawence DDG108, USS Coronado LCS4, PLAN Hangshui 572, USS Pinckney DDG91, USNS Henry J. Kaiser T-AO187 = 6 Ships

RSS Steadfast 70, HMCS Calgary 385 OR HMCS Vancouver 331, USS Chung Hoon DD693 OR USS Stockdale DDG106, USS Mobile Bay CG53 OR USS Princeton CG59, USS Shoup DDG86, PLAN Goyouhu 966 = 6 Ships

USS John C. Stennis CVN74, USS America LHA6, JDS Hyuga DDH181, USS San Diego LPD22, PLAN Peace Ark 866, USNS Rainer T-AOE7 = 7 Ships with CVN74 out front

JDS Chokai 176, HMAS Warramuga FFH152, USS Howard DDG83, USS Mobile Bay CG53 OR USS Princeton CG59, USNS Rappahannock T-AO204, PLAN Chang Dao 867 = 6 Ships

USS Tusan SSN770, ROKS Lee Eokgi SS071, USS Santa FE SSN 763, USS Cheyenne SSN773 = 4 Boats, however the order of the three Los Angeles Class Boats is I guess nearly impossible to know correctly.

Sourced from multiple photos and youtube. Getting it to 100%, may come with a health warning.

The Canberra will date this photo Rimpac 2016

2016-RIMPAC-76.jpg

Naval Today said:
The world’s largest international maritime exercise concluded Aug. 4, after more than a month of training events conducted in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California.

Twenty-six nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel participated in Rim of the Pacific 2016, more countries and personnel than in any previous years. This year’s RIMPAC marked the 25th in the series that began in 1971 and is now held every two years.

Hosted by U.S. Pacific Fleet, RIMPAC 2016 was led by U.S. Vice Adm. Nora Tyson, commander of the U.S. 3rd Fleet, who served as the combined task force commander. Royal Canadian Navy Rear Adm. Scott Bishop served as deputy commander of the CTF, and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Rear Adm. Koji Manabe was the vice commander.

Other key leaders of the multinational force included Commodore Malcolm Wise of the Royal Australian Navy, who commanded the maritime component; Brig. Gen. Blaise Frawley of the Royal Canadian Air Force, who commanded the air component; and Royal New Zealand Navy Commodore James Gilmour, who led the amphibious task force.

“RIMPAC 2016 was an unqualified success. The collaboration and cohesiveness between participants proved that we can operate effectively with our partner nations and that we will be ready in the Pacific if or when we’re called upon,” said Tyson.

Tyson said the involvement of so many different countries working together to successfully accomplish RIMPAC was a strong reminder of the unity coalition forces can exhibit in a real-world situation.

“From the beginning harbor phase to the closing ceremony reception, the different nations have demonstrated their capability and proven themselves to be very adaptive during the entire exercise,” said Tyson.

The U.S., Australia and Canada have participated in all 25 RIMPACs since 1971. RIMPAC 2016 marked the first time Denmark, Germany and Italy participated in the maritime exercise.

Each nation displayed capabilities ranging from disaster relief and maritime security operations to sea control and complex warfighting exercises, including a mass casualty drill, replenishments at sea, submarine search and rescue, aircraft refueling and multi-day diving operations.

Additionally, a harpoon missile shoot from littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4) and amphibious operations in the Southern California area of operation were exhibited for the first time during a RIMPAC training scenario.

Ships from the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF), Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN), Royal Australian Navy (RAN), Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and U.S. Navy (USN) and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) participated in a post Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) multilateral exercise in the Hawaii operating area August 5-9.

Participating maritime units included U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Howard (DDG 83), her Majesty’s Canadian ship (HMCS) Vancouver (FFH 331), Republic of Korea ships (ROKS) Kang Gam Chan (DDH 979) and Sejong the Great (DDG 991), Japanese ship (JS) Hyuga (DDH 181), and Her Majesty’s Australian ship (HMAS) Warramunga (FFH 252).

Participating aircraft included two MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopters embarked on Howard, one CH-124A Sea King embarked on Vancouver, two MK-21A Super Lynx helicopters embarked on Kang Gam Chan and Sejong the Great, one SH-60J Sea Hawk helicopter and two SH-60K helicopters embarked on Hyuga, and one C-130H Hercules from the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).

As previously demonstrated in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014, post-RIMPAC exercises between JMSDF, RAN, ROKN, USCG and USN are conducted to enhance security cooperation and interoperability, while also building a strong working relationship between all participating nations. This year also included maritime forces from RCN.
The US Navy, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Canada, and the US Coast Guard continued what amounts to an extension of RIMPAC.[/quote]
