SANTA RITA, Guam (Aug. 13, 2020) Chief Sonar Technician (Submarine) Kyle Wilkinson, assigned to the Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Asheville (SSN 758), observes as an encapsulated harpoon loading shape is lowered into the boat during harpoon shipping, loading and handling certification training aboard Asheville. The training and certification is required in order for the submarine to carry and employ warshot tactical Harpoons. The Harpoon system provides commanders with lethal all-weather anti-ship capability to rapidly engage targets at long ranges. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kelsey J.
