160926-N-NP779-068 WATERS EAST OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA (Sept. 26, 2016) Guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG-111) maneuvers with Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) ships during a combined maritime operation. The U.S. Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG 111) joined ROKN Aegis destroyers, submarines, anti-submarine helicopters, and U.S. and ROKN P-3 patrol aircraft in the operation that highlighted the
unified naval force capabilities in defense of the Republic of Korea and
region from surface, subsurface, and ballistic missile threats. Combined
Forces Command, U.S. Forces Korea Commander General Vincent. K. Brooks said, "this Combined Maritime operation is another example of the broad range of
capabilities the Alliance has to confront North Korea's unacceptable
behavior and the threat they pose to the stability on the Korean Peninsula,
and the region." (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Ty C. Connors)
