ATLANTIC OCEAN (Aug. 9, 2021) The Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) sails behind the fast combat support ship USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8) to prepare for a replenishment-at-sea. Kearsarge is underway to support Large Scale Exercise (LSE) 2021. LSE 2021 demonstrates the Navy's ability to employ precise, lethal, and overwhelming force globally across three naval component commands, five numbered fleets, and 17 time zones. LSE 2021 merges live and synthetic training capabilities to create an intense, robust training environment. It will connect high-fidelity training and real-world operations, to build knowledge and skills needed in today's complex, multi-domain, and contested environment.
