Fire!

The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Russell (DDG 59) fires her MK 45 5-inch/54 caliber lightweight gun during a Pre-aim Calibration Fire (PACFIRE) in the Pacific Ocean. The PACFIRE is part of an upcoming training exercise where Russell and several other U.S. Navy assets will sink the decommissioned destroyers USS Oldendorf (DD 972) and USS Fife (DD 991).
