Persian Gulf (Apr. 13, 2005) -- The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile
destroyer USS Mustin (DDG 89) underway in the Northern Persian Gulf
while conducting Maritime Security Operations. U.S. and Coalition
forces plan and execute maritime security operations (MSO) to deny
terrorists use of the maritime environment in the Northern Persian
Gulf. MSO's have a multi-layered security posture utilizing a variety
of assets to detect, disrupt and destroy terrorist attempts to harm the
infrastructure of Iraq. This includes the security and normalization of
commercial shipping into and out of Iraq and the Khor Al Amaya and Al
Basrah Oil Terminals. Mustin is currently deployed with the USS Carl
Vinson (CVN 70) Carrier Strike Group, currently on a scheduled
deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). U.S. Navy photo
