Sailors assigned to the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) await ballast testing in the ship’s well deck, Oct. 7, 2025. Essex departed San Diego Oct. 6. The at sea period marked the beginning of the end to a multi-year Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) that saw the ship receive upgrades and refurbishment of key systems, a significant step in the ship's progress towards its return to the fleet.
