    Lt. j.g. Vincent C. Watson (right) talks to the master (left) of an Iranian cargo ship as he inspects the ship's documents during a maritime interdiction operation in the Persian Gulf on March 6, 1998. Crew members from the USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) boarded and are inspecting the ship for possible contraband. The Arleigh Burke class destroyer is conducting the interception operations as part of a force augmentation in the region. The McCain is home ported in Yokosuka, Japan.
