The guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70) returns to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam from a four-month deployment to the western Pacific. Lake Erie is expected to replace the guided-missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) this summer as a rotational ballistic missile defense deployer from San Diego. John Paul Jones will replace Lake Erie in Hawaii as the nation's ballistic missile defense test ship. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Diana Quinlan/Released)
