Rear Adm. Kenneth Perry, vice commander, Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command/commander, Combined Task Force (CTF) 52.2, second from right, observes tests being conducted on unmanned underwater vehicles from a rigid hull inflatable boat launched from Afloat Forward Staging Base (Interim) USS Ponce (AFSB(I) 15). Ponce, formerly designated as an amphibious transport dock (LPD) ship, was converted and reclassified to fulfill a long-standing U.S. Central Command request for an AFSB to be located in its area of responsibility.
