Pacific Ocean (May 20, 2003) -- The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Milius (DDG 69) fires its 54-caliber (Mk 45) lightweight gun.  The Mk45 provides surface combatants accurate naval gunfire against fast, highly maneuverable surface targets, air threats and shore targets during amphibious operations.  Milius is returning from a deployment in which it supported Operations Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
