Since the Carrera\u2019s arrival at NBPL, Ensign Cristobal Lerd\u00f3n, a Chilean submariner, noticed many similarities between the two navies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always the respect, being almost the same, that we treat people in a good way,\u201d said Lerd\u00f3n. \u201cIt\u2019s important for both our countries and the relationships, but we understand each other. Our families we left behind understand the importance and how we deploy to other countries, and all of us share that experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--popup--><\/p>\n<p>Observing this celebration together helped the U.S. and Chilean navies strengthen ties of friendship and trust.<br \/>\u201cIt was a pleasure today to celebrate the Chilean Independence Day with our partners on the Chilean submarine Carrera,\u201d said Capt. Kenneth Douglas, commander, CSS-11. \u201cThe partnership between the United States and Chile goes back many decades. It was an honor to be able to host them today and participate in their celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Carrera\u2019s presence at NBPL is part of the Diesel-Electric Submarine Initiative (DESI). The DESI program, established in 2001 by U.S. Fleet Forces Command, partners with South American submarine-operating navies as they participate in fleet readiness exercises.<\/p>\n<p><!--popup--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Carrera is participating in DESI during their deployment to San Diego and will participate in numerous multi-unit exercises over the next two months, it is also important for our Chilean friends to experience the sights and sounds San Diego has to offer,\u201d said Douglas.<\/p>\n<p>Carrera is scheduled to participate in numerous events in support of DESI during their time in San Diego.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#cboxClose { position: absolute; top: 5px; right: 5px; display: block; background: url(\/desktopmodules\/articlecs\/images\/media_popup_close.png) no-repeat top center; width: 40px; height: 40px; text-indent: -9999px; } #cboxClose:hover { background-position: bottom center; } .me-plugin { width: 100%; height: 100%; } Every year, Chile traditionally observes Fiestas Patrias, marking when the first Chilean government declared independence from Spain, Sept. 18, 1810.
