Sailors assigned to the forward deployed Ticonderoga-class
Summary
Sailors assigned to the forward deployed Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Cowpens (CG 63) use a J-bar davit to retrieve a recoverable exercise torpedo (REXTORP) that was launched by helicopters from the Warlords of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light (HSL) 51 just before sunset. Cowpens is part of the George Washington Carrier Strike Group, the US Navy's only forward deployed carrier strike group based out of Yokosuka, Japan and is currently conducting a routine Western Pacific patrol.
