Description
English: Pacific Ocean (Feb. 29, 2004) – The second of two RIM-7 NATO Sea Sparrow missiles is launched from USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) on its way to intercept a remote-controlled drone, during an exercise to test the ship's defense capability. The RIM-7M Sea Sparrow is an active radar-guided, surface-to-air missile, with a high-explosive blast fragmentation warhead. Currently under way in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR), Kitty Hawk is America's oldest active aircraft carrier, commissioned in 1961, and is the United States Navy's only forward deployed aircraft carrier.
