\n A U.S. Navy Sailor operates the close-in weapons system from the local control station during a pre-action calibration firing exercise aboard Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70) while underway in the Caribbean Sea, Dec. 17, 2025. U.S. military forces are deployed to the Caribbean in support of the U.S. Southern Command mission, Department of War-directed operations, and the president\u2019s priorities to disrupt illicit drug trafficking and protect the homeland.
