EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the raw power of naval warfare is vividly captured as a close-in weapons system (CWIS) unleashes a torrential burst of tungsten rounds. Taken aboard the mighty amphibious assault ship USS Wasp during the initial phase of exercise Bold Alligator 2012, this image showcases the sheer force and precision of modern weaponry. The CWIS, also known as Phalanx or Gatling gun, stands tall on the ship's flight deck, ready to defend against any incoming threats. Its automatic firing mechanism and rapid rate of fire make it an indispensable asset in anti-ship operations. The billowing smoke from its barrels adds an element of drama to this scene. This photograph transports us into a world where warships become guardians of peace through their advanced weapon systems. It serves as a reminder that behind every successful military operation lies meticulous planning and rigorous training exercises like Exercise Bold Alligator. With no people visible in the frame, our focus is solely on the awe-inspiring machinery at play here. The color image captures all these details with utmost clarity under natural daylight conditions in the vast expanse of Atlantic Ocean. As we gaze upon this striking visual representation, we are reminded not only of the immense power housed within these assault ships but also appreciate how photography can bring such moments to life for us to admire from afar.
