BARK WITH BITE FROM A MARK 45: The guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy fires its forward Mark 45 5-inch gun during a live-fire exercise in the Arabian Sea. In June 2005 I spent a day and a half aboard the USS Normandy. The ship was operating in the Arabian Gulf (what the Pentagon now calls the Persian Gulf).
