CYPRUS LIMASSOL CITY - DRONE AND LAND SHOTS! !!...
Upon completion, she immediately headed for her duties in the Mediterranean and 6th Fleet Area of Operation. The ship made port calls to Cartagena, Spain and Limassol, Cyprus. After Limassol, the Cape St George conducted Exercise Juniper Stallion and Fleet Battle Experiment-Golf in the eastern Mediterranean with the Dwight D Eisenhower following which, she transited to one of Greece's most remote vacationing spots, the island of Mykonos. Following Greece, Cape St. George returned to the Eastern Mediterranean where she continued Fleet Battle Experiment-Golf and later visited Haifa, Israel along with the USS Dwight D Eisenhower. After Haifa, the Cape St. George transited to La Maddalena, Sardinia where she underwent her first ever deployment Fleet Maintenance Availability. During her seven days in La Maddalena, the Cape St. George got a lot of much needed repairs completed. Leaving La Maddalena, Cape St. George headed Rijeka, Croatia where she was the first cruiser to ever visit Croatia and the first U.S. warship to visit the city since its independence from Yugoslavia. The city had been anxiously waiting to host a United States Navy ship since her independence in 1991 and, as a result, daily stories were run in the local and national press, including radio and television spots.if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined')ez_ad_units.push([[728,90],'globalsecurity_org-box-4','ezslot_5',128,'0','0']);__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-globalsecurity_org-box-4-0');

The USS Cape St George took part in late September 2000 in Underway No. 10", one in a series of tests leading to the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Operation Evaluation (OPEVAL) scheduled for Spring 2001. The CEC system provides the capability to cooperatively engage targets by a warship using data from other CEC-equipped ships, aircraft, and land-based sensors, even in an electronic-jamming environment. It also provides a common, consistent and highly accurate air picture, allowing battle group defenses to act as one seamless system. The test, off Wallops Island, VA, simulated missile firings from some of the Navy's most technically advanced ships against unmanned drones. 041b061a72
