 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancau. 2014 saw many examples of the Navy's objective to continue to operate forward. The world's largest international maritime exercise, Rim of the Pacific, or Rimpack 2014, concluded August 1. This year is also the first year the People's Republic of China's People's Liberation Army Navy participates. U.S. military forces and partner nations took military action against terrorists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, September 23. 14 strikes against ISIL targets were achieved with aircraft and missiles. USS Anchorage successfully recovered the NASA Orion space capsule from the Pacific Ocean, December 5. Sailors aboard Anchorage trained for the recovery for several months, rehearsing during underway recovery tests with a mock-up of the Orion module.
