Mine Countermeasures Ships USS Dextrous (MCM 13), USS Devastator (MCM 6), USS Pioneer (MCM 9) and USS Sentry (MCM 3) approach Afloat Forward Staging Base (Interim) USS Ponce (AFSB(I) 15) to refuel. Ponce, formerly designated as an amphibious transport dock (LPD) ship, was converted and reclassified to fulfill a longstanding U.S. Central Command request for an Afloat Forward Staging Base Interim Ship to be located in its area of responsibility.
