Souda Bay, Greece (Oct. 19, 2002) -- USS Laboon (DDG 58) arrives in
Souda Bay for a brief port visit. Destroyers and guided missile
destroyers operate in support of carrier battle groups, surface action,
amphibious and replenishment groups. Destroyers primarily perform
anti-submarine warfare duty while guided missile destroyers are
multi-mission, anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare
combatants. The Laboon is homeported in Norfolk, Va., and is on a
scheduled six month deployment in support of Operation Enduring
Freedom. U.S. Navy photo by Paul Farley. (RELEASED)
