Pacific Ocean (April 27, 2018) A Standard Missile (SM) 2 launches from USS Spruance (DDG 111) during a Live Fire With a Purpose (LFWAP) event during an underway Cruiser-Destroyer (CRUDES) Surface Warfare Advanced Tactical Training (SWATT) exercise. The LFWAP program is a reinvigorated missile exercise (MSLX) program designed to increase fleet lethality and tactical proficiency. Spruance is one of three warships from USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Carrier Strike Group (CSG) completing a CRUDES SWATT exercise. USS Mobile Bay (CG 53) and USS Stockdale (DDG 106) are also participating in the Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center (SMWDC)-led exercise. SWATTs are designed to increase warfighting proficiency, lethality, and interoperability of participating units. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Jeffery L.
