- Sea Sparrow RIM-7 surface-to-air missile launch
- original image caption: 040206-N-2970T-002 At sea aboard USS Essex (LHD 2) Feb. 6, 2004 - USS Essex (LHD 2) launches one of the ship’s “Sea Sparrow” RIM-7 surface-to-air missiles during a training exercise. The Navy uses the Sea Sparrow version aboard ships as a surface-to-air anti-missile defense weapon. The versatile Sparrow has all-weather, all-altitude operational capability and can attack high-performance aircraft and missiles from any direction. During the exercise, the missile intercepted a remote controlled, GPS-guided test drone. Essex and the guided missile destroyer USS John McCain participated in the missile firing exercise conducted to test the ships defensive capability.
