The U.S. Marine Corps launched Naval Strike Missiles from the Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands, along with AGM-84 Harpoons from a division of F/A-18C Hornets.

The Navy’s New Refueling Drone Just Provided Gas to a F-35
The Navy’s new aerial refueling drone transferred fuel to a F-35C Joint Strike Fighter for the first time. The successful test is the latest step in giving carrier-based fighters longer legs than ever before, allowing them to fly and fight while keeping the aircraft carrier safely out of range of enemy weapons.
The MQ-25A concept was also fawned over by Chinese military officers in an analysis of the system, indicating Beijing’s navy could end up with a refueling tanker of its own.
The test took place place on Monday, September 13, near the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois. An operational MQ-25 prototype, named T-1, met up with a Navy F-35C from Air Test Wing and Evaluation Squadron Two Three (VX-23).

Looks like the one US Navy Ship going behind the Indian Navy Vessel is the USS Russell (DDG-59) that is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, not the USS Princeton Ticonderoga-Class Guided Missile Cruiser. Both share the same number on the bow, but the USS Russel is the one in this picture
