Marines with Alpha Company, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, assemble two combat rubber reconnaissance crafts aboard USS North Carolina (SSN777) during a training exercise at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, June 23. The reconnaissance Marines, based in Okinawa, Japan, were provided a unique opportunity to train aboard a U.S. Navy Virginia-class fast attack submarine. USS North Carolina is designed to seek and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships, project naval firepower ashore with Tomahawk cruise missiles, insert and retrieve special operations forces, carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, support battle group operations and engage in mine warfare.
