Summary edit

Description
English: Atlantic Ocean (Sept. 22, 2004) – The guided missile destroyer USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81) fires its MK-45 Mod 4, 5-inch/62-cal, lightweight gun mount during an exercise in the Virginia Capes Operating area in the Atlantic Ocean. Churchill is the only U.S. Navy vessel in active service named after a foreign dignitary. The MK-45 Mod 4 is the latest version of the MK-45 gun mount, designed to be used with the Mark 171 Extended Range Guided Munition (ERGM) for over-the-horizon range and improved lethality. The gun mount modifications include a new 62-caliber barrel, an Ammunition Recognition System, a Gun/ERGM interface and a new control system. Churchill is named in honor of Sir Winston Spencer Leonard Churchill (1874-1965), best known for his courageous leadership as the British Prime Minister during World War II.
