    The Avenger-class mine countermeasure ships USS Pioneer (MCM 9) and USS Chief (MCM 14) are moored alongside USS Avenger (MCM 1) and USS Defender (MCM 2) in preparation for upcoming hull swaps. Pioneer and Chief are newer, more capable mine countermeasure ships that will be forward deployed to Commander, Fleet Activities Sasebo, Japan, to become part of the U.S. Navy's forward deployed naval forces.
