As part of Operation POLAR DAGGER, East-Coast-based U.S. Naval Special Warfare Operators (SEALs) conduct combatant craft assault and terrestrial operations on Shemya Island, Alaska, Aug. 23. The SOF members transited to the Arctic via the USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26). LPD 26 is an amphibious transport dock ship known for its many unique capabilities that make it an ideal platform to support special operations forces. Operations NOBLE DEFENDER and POLAR DAGGER sharpen joint special operations integration and provides the forces the opportunity to test new capabilities and advance response options in defense of the U.S. homeland.
