Gunner's Mate Seaman Brandon Watson fires a shot line from the flight deck of the U.S. Navy's forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) onto Military Sealift Command dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE 14) during a replenishment-at-sea (RAS). During the RAS, ships from Commander, Task Force 70 and 73 participated in a simulated submarine threat exercise for Valiant Shield 2014. Valiant Shield is a U.S.-only exercise integrating an estimated 18,000 Navy, Air Force, Army and Marine Corps personnel, more than 200 aircraft and 19 surface ships, offering real-world joint operational experience to develop capabilities that provide a full range of options to defend U.S. interests and those of its allies and partners.
