A P-15 SS-N-2c Styx SSM is unloaded from the No. 4 missile tube aboard the USNS HIDDENSEE (185NS9201) while the ship is moored at the Naval Sea Systems Command facility at Solomons Annex. The Soviet-built Tarantul I class missile corvette was acquired from the Federal German navy in November 1991, and is currently undergoing testing and evaluation by the U.S. Navy. Named Rudolf Egelhofer when it was part of the East German navy, the ship was renamed HIDDENSEE after the reunification of Germany in 1990
