English: The SeaRAM, a ship defense system that can be used against supersonic and subsonic threats including cruise missiles, drones and helicopters, aboard the Independence-class littoral combat ship USS Canberra (LCS 30) stands guard while team members of Naval Sea Systems Command make preparations for the Canberra’s upcoming trials in San Diego, Jan. 13, 2023. Canberra is preparing to participate in its Combat System Ship Qualification Trials when a joint team of engineers, project officers, combat systems experts and analysts from warfare centers of NAVSEA and Naval Air Systems Command will work alongside its crewmembers to certify the ship’s combat systems during the multi-phase trials. The CSSQT qualification process is a NAVSEA pre-deployment requirement to verify the crew’s ability to operate and maintain their combat systems in a safe and effective manner. It is considered a major milestone in validating the ship’s capability to defend itself, fight and win. (U.S. Navy photo by Neil Mabini)
