One of the ships now docked in San Francisco for Fleet Week has been involved in some missions that you could call out of this world.
Officer Avery Fries is only in her early 20s, but has already experienced so much aboard the USS John P. Murtha.
Officer Fries was one of the lucky crew members who got to participate in the training exercise, practicing how the Navy and NASA will work together to recover the Artemis II capsule, which will be carrying the mission's four astronauts when it splashes down in the Pacific Ocean. "We have been planning for about a month to give the tours to the public. Being able to show everyone what we do and our craft, we have been at sea operational for about two years and being able to pull into port and show the public what we do and show off our main capability is what we're really excited about," said Officer Fries.
