ARABIAN SEA — Seaman Justin Dostie, from Sabattus, Maine, assigned to the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton, monitors the horizon for surface and air contacts during watch. Princeton is part of Nimitz Carrier Strike Group and is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and Pacific through the Western Indian Ocean and three critical chokepoints to the free flow of global commerce.
