The ship's Mediter- ranean transit was highlighted by a Tomahawk missile exercise with the USS Enterprise CCVN-657 Battle Group. The ship participated in the mis- sile exercise at approximately the same time that units in the Arabian Gulf were actually launching mis- siles against targets in southern Iraq. The exercise provided valu- able training in actual operations for Stump's strike teams. The exercise was followed by a three-dayport visit to Palma de Mal- lorca, Spain.
