USS Antietam (CG 54) aircraft crash and salvage drill

150708-N-BX824-032 TIMOR SEA (July 8, 2015) Culinary Specialist Seaman Michael Phillips, from Fayetteville, N.C., acts as the nozzleman during an aircraft crash and salvage drill on the flight deck of the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54) in support of Talisman Sabre (TS) 2015. TS is a biennial exercise that provides an invaluable opportunity for nearly 30,000 U.S. and Australian defense forces to conduct operations in a combined, joint and interagency environment that will increase both countries' ability to plan and execute a full range of operations from combat missions to humanitarian assistance efforts.
