PACIFIC OCEAN (Sept. 13, 2020) Sailors aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Barry (DDG 52) prepare to fire a Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) during the Pacific Vanguard 2020 exercise. Pacific Vanguard serves as an opportunity to exercise and improve multinational interoperability at all levels; to improve tactical proficiency; and to adapt to ever changing regional challenges. Barry is underway conducting operations in support of security and stability in the Indo-Pacific while assigned to DESRON 15, the Navy’s largest forward-deployed DESRON and the U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force.
