A RIM-7P NATO Sea Sparrow Missile launches from Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) during a stream raid shoot exercise. Lincoln's self-defense systems fired four Sea Sparrow missiles, engaging and destroying two BQM-74E turbo jet-powered drone aircraft and a high-speed maneuvering surface threat (HSMST) remote controlled rigid hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) during the event. Lincoln and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2 are underway off the coast of southern California conducting Tailored Ship's Training Availability (TSTA).
