Article Photos: Keeping up a routine aboard the USS Underwood



In this Oct. 13, 2012 photo, a sailor works out as others eat a meal of burgers and hot dogs on the flight deck on the 237th birthday of the U.S. Navy onboard the USS Underwood 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)
