200216-N-LN075-1074 NORFOLK (Feb. 16, 2020) Landing Craft Utility (LCU 1661) assigned to Assault Craft Unit Two performs a “stern-gate marriage” as part of a well deck certification exercise onboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), Feb. 16, 2020. A stern gate marriage allows equipment to move on or off the ship without having to bring the LCU all the way into the well deck and is part of Iwo Jima’s well deck certification after more than a year in several maintenance availabilities.
