Aboard USS John Paul Jones (Oct. 8, 2001) -- A Tomahawk land attack missile (TLAM) is launched from aboard the guided missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) in a strike against al Qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan on Oct. 8, 2001.  The carefully targeted actions are designed to disrupt the use of Afghanistan as a base for terrorist operations and to attack the military capability of the Taliban regime.  The John Paul Jones is steaming at sea as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 1st Class Ted Banks.  (RELEASED)
