In a galaxy far from home….

Well, at least United States Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyerUSS Carney (DDG 64) is still firmly on planet Earth….only 5,000 miles (8,000 km) from home….patrolling under crystal clear skies in the Mediterranean Sea.

That’s her forward MK 45 5-inch lightweight gun….reflecting red night-lighting….with the universe painting a dramatic backdrop.
