ATLANTIC OCEAN (Sept. 24, 2008) -- The guided-missile destroyer USS Mitscher (DDG 57) fires a five-inch gun during a training exercise in the Atlantic Ocean. Mitscher, along with four other ships led by Commander Destroyer Squadron 24, will participate in the Joint Warrior course, a multi-national exercise designed and led by the Joint Tactical Exercise Planning Staff (JTEPS) in the United Kingdom. The exercise helps U.S. ships improve interoperability between allied navies and prepares participants for a role in a joint maritime environment during upcoming deployments.
