PACIFIC OCEAN (April 5, 2023) The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton (CG 59), left, and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Stethem (DDG 63) and USS Hopper (DDG 70) participate in an integrated live-fire event during Group Sail. Group Sail demonstrates the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group's ability to rapidly aggregate the strike group units and provides an opportunity to conduct progress training to enhance levels of excellence, increase lethality and tactical proficiency of U.S. Navy units operating in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operation.
