First Coordinated Tests With New Sub-Hunter Aircraft
On Sept. 15, the bridge watch team aboard the guided-missile
destroyer USS Laboon (DDG 58) watched as a P-8A Poseidon executed

training conducted between a surface ship and the new
anti-submarine warfare (ASW) platform on the East Coast.
Britain's Natural History Museum will host "The Salute to Bomber

serve as a fundraiser in support of its preservation.
