beskrivelse:

At sea aboard w:USS O'Brien (DD-975), — A w:BQM-74E Chukar target drone launches from the fantail of USS O'Brien (DD 975) and will act as a "hostile" anti-ship missile during a missile training exercise. The drones are painted orange so that they will be easier to see in the water and can be recovered. Nine U.S. Navy ships took part in this training, an anti-ship missile defense training exercise (MISSILEX 02-1) as part of a Commander Task Force Seven Five (CTF 75) Multi-Sail battle group interoperability exercise. All participating ships are forward deployed in w:Yokosuka and Sasebo, w:Japan.
