POTD: Training Aboard USS Dewey
Photo Of The Day – a sailor clears a helicopter hanger during visit, board, search and seizure training aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) while conducting operations in the Western Pacific Ocean, April 2024. He’s using a blue gun, which makes the training a lot safer from user errors.
USS Dewey is forward-deployed and assigned to DESRON 15. Destroyer Squadron 15 is the largest Destroyer Squadron in the United States Navy consisting of ten Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

Nice seeing M-9s still sailoring on!!
In my time, we called it either a LANDING PARTY or an INVASION PARTY.
I preferred the term INVASION, myself. Now that's a party.
But we did it in dungarees and M14s and M1911A1s.
