160525-N-ZK021-006 - PACIFIC OCEAN (May 25, 2016) - Sailors aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Hopper (DDG 70) watch a live viewing of the test launch of a next generation prototype of the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) on the mess decks during a scheduled underway. SM-3 is a defensive weapon used by the U.S. Navy to destroy short to intermediate range ballistic missile threats. The new-engineered design of the SM-3 improves its guidance systems in space, improving its capabilities from the previous design.
