Sailors assigned to amphibious transport dock USS Somerset (LPD 25) transit across the ship’s flight deck after removing chocks and chains during NASA Underway Recovery Test 12 in the Pacific Ocean, March 28, 2025. In preparation for NASA's Artemis II crewed mission, which will send four astronauts around the moon and beyond in the Orion spacecraft, NASA and the Department of Defense will conduct a series of tests to demonstrate and evaluate the processes, procedures, and hardware used in recovery operations for crewed lunar missions. The Department of Defense has many unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including its amphibious ships with the ability to embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats and provide medical care at advanced onboard facilities.
