180828-N-UX013-2608 GULF OF ADEN (Aug. 28, 2018) U.S. Navy Sailors, assigned to the guided-missile destroyer USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109), unload a large cache of AK-47 automatic rifles seized from a skiff onto rigid-hull inflatable boats as part of maritime security operations. The stateless skiff was found carrying a shipment of over 1,000 illicit weapons. Dunham is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.
