Original: uss klakring
The former US Navy frigate USS Klakring was sunk as a target during a sinking exercise involving the United States and Royal navies. The drill, reported by USNI News with video footage, allowed both forces to practice live-fire engagements against a decommissioned hull, a standard method for testing weapons and coordinating allied naval operations at sea.
Why now: The release of video footage of the joint US-Royal Navy sinking exercise has drawn public attention to the ship's final fate.
