U.S.S. Anzio (CG68)

Anzio is a Ticonderoga Class Guided Missile Cruiser, normally based in Norfolk, Virginia and part of Carrier Strike Group Two, assigned to the U.S. Second Fleet.
Anzio is named after the World War II amphibious assault on the beachhead at Anzio, Italy, on January 22, 1944.
Another participant in NATO operation 'Joint Warrior', leaving the Clyde today. No doubt glad to be off to sunnier climes, hopefully!
