The U.S. Army’s latest watercraft demonstrated its ability to transport a Marine Corps NMESIS anti-ship launcher last week in Hawaii. Last week’s beach rehearsal at Marine Corps Base Hawaii involved the 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment – one of the service’s units dedicated to countering threats from China – and the 7th Transportation Brigade.

Equipped with two low-observable Naval Strike Missiles, NMESIS provides the Marine Corps with a highly mobile maritime strike capability. The test was also the latest effort from the ground-based service to validate its ability to transport missile launchers via vessels.
