USS Saipan (LHA-2) at the ex-research ship R/VGosport (IX-517) during a Sink Exercise conducted 300 miles off the
East Coast of the United States, on 12 November 2004. Ships from the Saipan Expeditionary Strike Group, several units of NATO's Standing Naval Force Atlantic
(STANAVFORLANT), and a variety of aircraft successfully completed a live-fire exercise, sinking the decommissioned destroyer
ex-USS Hayler (DD-997) and research vessel R/V Gosport November 12-14. All
decommissioned ships receive a thorough inspection by the EPA before sinking, and will now act as an artificial reef for deep-sea marine life. The sinking of these ships
provides unique weapons training opportunities.
