Article Photos: Keeping up a routine aboard the USS Underwood



  In this Oct. 16, 2012 photo, Boatswain's Mate 3 Billy Lewis, from Trenton, Tennessee, watches a helicopter land on the flight deck from the window of a hatch door onboard the USS Underwood while patrolling in international waters near Panama. In October, the 30-year-old ship was patrolling the Caribbean waters off Panama, as part of a multi-national effort to hit illicit trafficking routes on both coasts of the Central American isthmus. The deployment was the Underwood’s last voyage, with 10 other U.S. Navy ships scheduled to be decommissioned early next year. (AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills)
