The San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS Anchorage (LPD 23) departed from Naval Base San Diego Dec. 1 to retrieve NASA equipment in the Pacific Ocean. The Anchorage will use its amphibious capabilities to conduct an at-sea recovery of the Orion space capsule. NASA operatives will launch Orion into Earth's orbit and wait for it to splash down into the Pacific Ocean for recovery. The launch window for this NASA mission terminates Dec. 19.
