- [Mario] USS John S. McCain heads out

00:09.940 --> 00:14.050
to conduct sea trials in
preparation of its return

00:14.050 --> 00:14.883
to the fleet.

00:16.730 --> 00:18.650
Sea trials will mark the first time McCain

00:18.650 --> 00:21.133
gets underway since its collision in 2017.

- Over the last almost,
over a year and a half now

00:25.420 --> 00:26.860
we've been putting the ship back together,

00:26.860 --> 00:28.952
putting the crew back
together, training up

00:28.952 --> 00:31.200
and making sure that we're
ready to take the ship

00:31.200 --> 00:32.720
back to sea.

00:32.720 --> 00:33.950

00:33.950 --> 00:36.230

00:36.230 --> 00:38.290
returns from sea trials.

00:38.290 --> 00:39.790
This is part of a concentrated effort

00:39.790 --> 00:42.850
to return the ship to a fully
resilient and ready status

00:42.850 --> 00:44.088
in the fleet.

00:44.088 --> 00:46.760
- The goal is to make it
more capable, more lethal,

00:46.760 --> 00:49.780
and more ready to continue
to support security

00:49.780 --> 00:52.100
and stability around the region.
