USS Bainbridge Dazzles in NATO Drills, Showcases Firepower in Baltic Sea
The US Navy's Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, USS Bainbridge (DDG 96), recently demonstrated its firepower in the Baltic Sea. The live-fire gunnery training was part of the large-scale NATO-led exercise, Neptune Strike 25-3, involving over 10,000 personnel from 13 allied nations.
Equipped with the advanced Aegis combat system and a 5-inch/62 Mk 45 Mod 4 gun, USS Bainbridge showcased its capabilities during the exercise. The training provided an opportunity for the crew to practise combined gunnery procedures, target designation, and deconfliction in a congested maritime environment. The drills allowed for rehearsal of command and control, information sharing, and coordination of multi-national strike effects.
The exercise, led by the United States, aimed to test interoperability and rehearse the protection of strategic maritime chokepoints. USS Bainbridge participated alongside Finland's FNS Tornio, Germany's FGS Hamburg, and Sweden's Helsingborg, representing the collaborative nature of the event.
The successful completion of the live-fire gunnery training by USS Bainbridge during Neptune Strike 25-3 highlights the readiness and capability of the US Navy and its allies to respond to potential threats at sea. The exercise underscores the commitment of NATO nations to maintaining maritime security and freedom of navigation.
