    U.S. Navy Capt. David Walton, commanding officer of USS San Diego (LPD 22), speaks to the media on his Underway Recovery Test 11 experience during a media event in the well deck of the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship at Naval Base San Diego, Feb. 28, 2024. In preparation for NASA’s Artemis II crewed mission, which will send four astronauts in Orion beyond the Moon, NASA and the Department of Defense will conduct a series of tests to demonstrate and evaluate the processes, procedures, and hardware used in recovery operations for crewed lunar missions. The U.S. Navy has many unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including its amphibious ships with the ability to embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats, three-dimensional air search radar and advanced medical facilities.
