170106-N-NO701-002 Pacific Ocean (Feb. 4, 2017) In conjunction with the Missile Defense Agency, Guided Missile Cruisers USS Vella Gulf (CG 72) and USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55), along with Arleigh Burke Destroyers USS James E. Williams (DDG 95) and USS Oscar Austin (DDG 79), successfully executed a live-fire missile exercise off the coast of North Carolina, Saturday, Feb. 4. This exercise demonstrated the effective employment of the ships integrated naval weapons systems (AEGIS), while allowing each ship’s crew the opportunity to track and guide weapons, and destroy simulated enemy targets in a live scenario. The exercise was intended to enhance crew proficiency on the combat system. During the event, all ships shared a common tactical picture and each was given the opportunity to perform a standard missile intercept evolution. (U.S. Navy photo/Released)
