U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Vance S. Hudson uses a hammer to unlock a crane anchor mechanism from a U.S. Marine Corps M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank that was loaded into the cargo hold of the USS Ashland at the Gwangyang Port, Republic of Korea April 1 during exercise Freedom Banner 2014. Throughout the on-load two 427-ton cranes loaded six M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks and five Humvees onto the ship destined for Pohang, Republic of Korea, where they will support amphibious assault exercise Ssang Yong 2014, which is a component of Marine Expeditionary Force Exercise 2014. After the tanks were lowered into the hull of the ship crews of Navy sailors quickly worked to unhinge the bindings on the tanks so they could be organized into a formation and staged for rapid deployment upon arrival in Pohang. Hudson is a boatswain’s mate with the USS Ashland. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Matt Myers/RELEASED)
