Littoral Combat Ship USS Coronado (LCS-4) fired a Harpoon Block 1C missile off the coast of Guam this week, successfully hitting a surface target beyond the ship’s visual range, the Navy announced.
An MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned aerial system and a MH-60S Seahawk helicopter, both of which deployed with Coronado as part of its air detachment, provided targeting data for the Aug. 22 missile shot.
