On May 2nd, 2015, U.S. Navy ships underway as part the John C. Stennis, CVN-74, Carrier Strike Group. These exercises provide an opportunity for crews to focus on teamwork, communication, and hone skills sailors need when executing the nation's maritime strategy.

What you see here are the John Stennis, a Ticonderoga AEGIS cruiser, four Burke AEGIS destroyers (Two Flight IIAs with the hangers, and two Flight I or IIs without the hanger), and a Freedom Class LCS...I am sure to help perform ASW duties.
