Two small fishing vessels are towed alongside Afloat Forward Staging Base (Interim) USS Ponce (AFSB(I) 15) after seven Bahraini fisherman were rescued off the coast of Bahrain in heavy weather. Ponce, formerly designated as an amphibious transport dock ship, was converted and reclassified to fulfill a long-standing U.S. Central Command request for an AFSB to be located in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility. The U.S. Navy is constantly deployed to preserve peace, protect commerce, and deter aggression through forward presence. Join the conversation on social media using #warfighting.
