Crew members of the German frigatte Emden man their stations, while cruising to marry up with the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Emden officers and petty officers provided ship tours and Q and A about the ship's capabilities, facilities such as medical, dental, standard operating procedures and general questions about life at sea. Once the Emden took her place in the formation, ship-to-ship helo operations were used to move everyone to the USS Eisenhower. (Photo by James Fidel) NATO highlights the abilities of SMNG1 611324
