00:03.530 --> 00:06.363
(dramatic music)

00:26.429 --> 00:29.220
- USS gladiator is MCM
11, a venture class,

00:29.220 --> 00:31.830
Minesweeper mind, counter measures ship.

00:31.830 --> 00:33.290
Both capabilities for mine hunting

00:33.290 --> 00:35.490
and mine sweeping, so
we can go out and find

00:35.490 --> 00:37.650
the threat and neutralize it.

00:37.650 --> 00:39.980
Criticizes itself as one
of the bigger aspects

00:39.980 --> 00:41.318
of that's different,

00:41.318 --> 00:42.151
from any other ship in the Navy,

00:42.151 --> 00:42.984
it's a lot smaller.

00:42.984 --> 00:44.810
And we have a very specific mission,

00:44.810 --> 00:46.944
which is the mine warfare aspect of it.

00:46.944 --> 00:49.694
(engine roaring)

00:58.461 --> 01:00.350
So C Fox is a way for us to deploy a

01:00.350 --> 01:02.130
remote control vehicle to the sea floor,

01:02.130 --> 01:03.560
to visually identify things

01:03.560 --> 01:05.120
that would look suspicious,

01:05.120 --> 01:06.720
or we want to actually identify.

01:14.850 --> 01:16.420
So for our gunnery exercise,

01:16.420 --> 01:17.990
it's a familiarization for the crew,

01:17.990 --> 01:19.230
with the crew serve weapons,

01:19.230 --> 01:20.903
so the ship could defend itself.

01:26.278 --> 01:27.146
So if you think about combat

01:27.146 --> 01:28.200
as the brain of the ship,

01:28.200 --> 01:29.890
that's where all information comes in and

01:29.890 --> 01:31.070
is disseminated throughout the rest of

01:31.070 --> 01:31.903
the ship for what the

01:31.903 --> 01:33.200
planning and missions are.

01:39.410 --> 01:40.790
Thinking back to the gladiator

01:40.790 --> 01:41.930
and the three years I spent here,

01:41.930 --> 01:45.580
it's actually like a very
family oriented crew.

01:45.580 --> 01:46.570
Everyone comes together,

01:46.570 --> 01:48.400
small crew, a lot of work, but everyone

01:48.400 --> 01:50.688
works together to get the mission done.

01:50.688 --> 01:53.438
