Radar Dome headed back out

[JChlupsa]

Just found out its not headed back, It was being towed out for testing and then back to dry dock until later and then to Alaska. Still neat seeing it being towed out to open water though

Sea-Based X-Band Radar
Once integrated into the Ballistic Missile Defense
System, the Sea-Based X-Band Radar will track,
discriminate and assess incoming target missiles and will
greatly increase the Missile Defense Agency’s ability to
conduct strenuous, operationally realistic testing of its
Ground-Based Midcourse Defense element.

down the road, I can be warned of rockets as well as incoming police LOL
