Ex-USS Acadia sunk as live-fire target during Valiant Shield 2010

Former Yellowstone-class destroyer tender USS Acadia was sunk off Guam as a live-fire target during exercise Valiant Shield 2010 on Monday.

Warplanes from the U.S. Air Force, Marine and Navy took turns to fire weapon on the ship at different times of the day. But not all units were successful in hitting the target though.

VMFA(AW)-225 had to abandon their mission after a fishing boat entered the live-firing area.
