The photo, taken Friday, shows the Arleigh Burke-class guided missiles destroyers USS Russell and USS Pinckney and the new Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Omaha.
The Russell, which is leading the group, is one of 34 destroyers armed with the advanced Aegis ballistic-missile defense system that can shoot down long-range missiles from North Korea.
The photo was snapped by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Jason Isaacs.
