Petty Officer 2nd Class Joel Burchwell, machinist mate, USS North Carolina (SSN 777), share a laugh while bringing up equipment to assemble a combat rubber reconnaissance craft aboard the Virginia class submarine during a training exercise at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, June 23. The reconnaissance Marines based in Okinawa, Japan, were provided a unique opportunity to train aboard a U.S. Navy Virginia class fast attack submarine. USS North Carolina is designed to seek and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships; project power ashore with Tomahawk cruise missiles and Special Operation Forces; carry out Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions; support battle group operations, and engage in mine warfare.
