Sailors approach guided-missile destroyer USS Preble (DDG 88) in a pair of rigid hull inflatable boats after a day of performing interaction patrols (IPATS) in the Persian Gulf. IPATS are an element of maritime operations and are conducted in Iraqi territorial waters so that commercial shipping and fishing can occur safely in the region. Preble, as part of John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group, is on a scheduled deployment in support of the Global War on Terrorism. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Ron Reeves)
