A U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion lines up to enter the well deck of the USS Denver (LPD 9) off the coast of Camp Pendleton, Calif., on June 24, 1997. The landing craft, or LCAC as it more commonly called, is delivering troops and cargo to the USS Denver during Exercise Kernel Blitz 97. Kernel Blitz 97 is a major amphibious exercise taking place in Southern California and waters offshore. More than 12,000 sailors, Marines, soldiers, guardsmen and airmen are involved in the exercise which is designed to test the Navy-Marine Corps team's ability to project combat power ashore. The LCAC is from Assault Craft Unit 5, Camp Pendleton, Calif.
