ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 14, 2025) Operations Specialist Seaman Benjermain Gonzalez, from Visalia, California assigned to the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) ties down two fire hoses in preparation for hydrostatic fire pump operational testing while underway. Iwo Jima is conducting Surface Warfare Advanced Tactical Training, a rigorous multi-domain exercise designed to enhance warfighting effectiveness and interoperability. SWATT is led and assessed by the Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center and prepares the Iwo Jima Amphibious Readiness Group for deployment by sharpening its ability to operate in high-end maritime conflict scenarios. Iwo Jima is the flagship of the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group which is uniquely positioned to deter aggression, project power through presence abroad, and execute contingency missions with its integrated Marine Corps team in support of U.S. strategic interests.
