A fast, maneuverable surface warrior, the Navy's first littoral combat ship USS Freedom has joined the 7th Fleet in the Pacific.
Its arrival coincides with further heavy rhetoric from North Korea. News agency KCNA carried the governments message Wednesday that it had ordered artillery and rocket units into "combat posture" to prepare to target U.S. bases in the United States mainland, Hawaii and Guam.
On its maiden deployment, USS Freedom arrived in the U.S. 7th Fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR) on March 20 -- a zone that covers more than 48 million square miles, stretching west from the International Date Line to the western coast of India. At any given moment, about 100 ships and submarines are deployed there and assigned to 7th Fleet.
On March 15, the fleet marked the 70th anniversary of its maintaining security and stability in the region.
While North Korea is not thought to have ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, it is capable of striking U.S. bases in the region, including Guam, where Freedom will be visiting.
The ship will participate in some large scale training exercises in Southeast Asia, involving maritime security operations with regional partners.
North Korea, meanwhile, has been carrying out its own large-scale military exercises.
Surface and anti-submarine warfare readyDesigned and developed by Lockheed Martin, the littoral combat ship (coastal and shallow water areas are called littoral) is quick and agile, and loaded with mission packages that can be configured for surface warfare, countering sea mines and anti-submarine warfare.
- Vice Adm. Scott Swift, commander of the U.S. 7th Fleet
Led by Cmdr. Timothy Wilke, Freedom will initially be manned by her crew of 91 sailors, who include mission package personnel and an aviation detachment to operate its MH-60 helicopter.

All of Norfolks beaches have passed stringent water quality tests, despite one of the wettest summers on record.
To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.
Nationwide, the heavy rain experienced in 2012 has led to a significant fall in the number of UK beaches achieving recommended - the top standard - for their excellent water quality in the 2013 Good Beach Guide.
But our region fared better with 11 out of 14 beaches in Norfolk and five out of six in Suffolk being recommended in the guide.
The standard below recommended is guideline followed by mandatory and then fail.
Among the Norfolk beaches achieving recommended were Gorleston, Great Yarmouth South and Pier, Caister Point, Hemsby, Sea Palling, Mundesley, Cromer, East Runton, Sheringham, and Wells.
In Suffolk, Southwold The Pier, which rose from mandatory, and Lowestoft South and North of Claremont Pier, were among those recommended.
Yarmouth North dropped from recommended to mandatory and Southwold The Denes remained mandatory.

The Marine Conservation Society's Good Beach Guide revealed that 42 British beaches last year failed to meet minimum EU levels for bathing water - a rise of 17 beaches from 2011's figures.
Only 403 of the UK's 754 beaches (53 per cent) were given the top 'recommended' award for water quality last year - 113 fewer beaches than the previous guide.
Some of the beaches which did not meet water quality levels included those at family-friendly resorts like Bude in Cornwall and Blackpool.
The Marine Conservation Society identified 42 beaches with water which did not meet mandatory bathing standards - you can see where they are on the map above.
The downgraded figures have been blamed on last year's washout summer, which caused all manner of water problems nationwide.
The rain and flooding led to an increase in bacteria and viruses in bathing water, coming from a variety of sources such as agricultural and urban run-off, storm waters, plumbing misconnections, septic tanks and dog waste.
Bathers are at risk of ear, nose and throat infections and even gastroenteritis, the Marine Conservation Society said.
Swimmers can be exposed to pathogens, which can enter the ears, eyes, mouth and nose.
Skin is also exposed to infection through swimming near polluted waters.
The health consequences include urinary tract infections, flu-like illnesses, dermatitis, sinusitis and deep tissue or blood infections through open wounds.

What are the health risks for swimmers on Britain's beaches ?
The pollution can give bathers ear, nose and throat infections and even gastroenteritis, the Marine Conservation Society said.
The Met Office has warned that wet summers could become more frequent.
The MCS said that therefore infrastructure need to be updated so that during floods sewage does not flow into the sea.
The also called for reduced pollution from farms and urban areas, ahead of tougher EU rules on water quality coming in from 2015.
MCS coastal pollution officer Rachel Wyatt said: "We have recommended fewer beaches in every English region and in Wales and Scotland. In England, the north west and south west were particularly badly hit with the fewest number of recommended beaches for at least a decade.
"Action must be taken now. With stricter bathing water standards from 2015 and summers that appear to be getting wetter, the iconic image of people bathing off golden beaches could be at serious risk.
"There is no simple solution to sewage and animal waste reaching our seas. However if the water industry, communities and local authorities recognise that there is a problem and begin to work together to find answers that would be a significant start."
The MCS said there were some promising local partnerships working together to identify problems and start trying to fix them, but in too many places there was an "out of sight, out of mind mentality" over water pollution.
The situation is a turn around from last year, when a record number of beaches were given the top "recommended" award for their water quality.
The South West saw a number of its previously recommended beaches fail last year, including Plymouth Hoe East and West, Shaldon and Exmouth in Devon, East Looe and Bude Summerleaze in Cornwall and Charmouth West in Dorset.

Most of Northern Ireland's beaches have excellent bathing water quality, according to the latest survey by the Marine Conservation Society.
Last year was one of the wettest summers on record, but 15 of the 23 beaches still managed to pass European guidelines.
That is just one fewer than the year before.
Only one NI beach, Newcastle, County Down, failed to meet a minimum European standard for bathing water quality.
Dr Robert Keirle of MSC said Northern Ireland (NI) Water had invested heavily over the last 10 years to improve its network of sewers and pumping stations and this investment appeared to be paying off.
"Despite Northern Ireland as a whole experiencing an exceptionally wet summer during 2012, today we can recommend the second highest number of beaches in the province," he said.
"So the benefits of NI Water's investment are starting to become apparent."
MCS said that, nationally, 42 beaches (5.6%) failed to meet even a minimum European standard, or equivalent, for bathing water quality; 17 more than in last year's guide.
Dr Keirle said just because this was the second best result on record for Northern Ireland's beaches, it was no time for complacency.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v2szjw/global_aerospace) has announced the addition of the "Global Aerospace Service Robotics Market 2012-2016" report to their offering.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Aerospace Service Robotics market to grow at a CAGR of 24.11 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the development of telerobotics for space. The Global Aerospace Service Robotics market has also been witnessing an increase in the demand for unmanned aerial vehicles. However, rapid technological changes could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Automotive team said: ''The Global Aerospace Service Robotics market is witnessing the increasing adoption of lightweight and multi-functional robots. The size of robots is getting smaller every year. Vendors are developing smaller sized aerospace service robotics by reducing the size of the robot controllers. The trend of reducing the controller size is expected to increase and this will lead to a further reduction in the size of robots. In addition, vendors are developing multi-functional robots equipped with sensors and mobile units to do the required tasks autonomously with the cooperation of humans.''
According to the report, the realization of the benefits of robots is one of the major drivers in the Global Aerospace Service Robotics market. The reduction in errors while performing complex work utilizing robots is leading to increased operational efficiency. Further, the capability of aerospace service robotics to solve the issue of workforce scarcity in the Aerospace industry is inducing the growth of the Global Aerospace Service Robotics market.
Further, the report states that the reduction in budgets is one of the major challenges in the Global Aerospace Service Robotics market.
The key vendors dominating this space are AeroVironment Inc., European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. N.V., Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., and Dassault Aviation S.A.
The other vendors mentioned in the report are Schiebel Corp., BlueBotics SA, von Hoerner & Sulger GmbH, and MacDonald Dettwiler Space and Advanced Robotics Ltd.
Key questions answered in this report:
- What will the market size be in 2016 and what will the growth rate be?

EADS shareholders approved sweeping reforms on Wednesday that weaken the influence of European governments and allow the aerospace giant to pursue its global ambitions unfettered.
The extraordinary meeting in Amsterdam overwhelmingly adopted 15 proposed amendments in a major easing of state clout in the powerful group that also controls Airbus.
They notably dissolved a complicated shareholders pact that gave EADS's three founding states -- France, Germany and Spain -- veto rights on strategic decisions and rights to nominate board members.
Germany in October used the right to block a plan to merge EADS, which is registered in the Netherlands, with British defence company BAE Systems in a move that would have created a global defence and aerospace giant to rival US company Boeing.
The amendments also allow two historic shareholders, German automaker Daimler and the French conglomerate Lagardere, to sell their stakes, with the volume of EADS shares that trade freely rising above 70 percent from below 50 percent in December.
The German and French companies have long sought to leave EADS to focus on their core activities, respectively cars and media.
In the new ownership pact, national governments remain important shareholders, but their ability to influence company strategy decisions is more limited.
In the scheme, Germany is to takeover the 12 percent stake in EADS from Daimler, and France is to cut its holding to 12 percent, with Spain at 4.0 percent.
EADS activities involved in national security, such as those participating in France's nuclear deterrent, have been transferred to dedicated subsidiaries whose directors are chosen with each state's approval.
An expanded board of directors of 12 people from six countries can now decide without interference from states on "acquisitions, alliances and mergers," executive director Tom Enders said.

They said efforts to enlarge training programs, expand enrollment in college engineering and computer science courses and reform workers compensation, as desired by the industry, are all on the table for action in the final weeks of the legislative session.
But with a budget shortfall, and political differences between the House and Senate, they may not all get done unless the aerospace leaders inject themselves aggressively into the debate, lawmakers cautioned.
"I'm here to give you a reality check," Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, told a gathering of the Aerospace Futures Alliance, which lobbies on behalf of the industry. "I really need you guys to fight for aerospace like you do every day but you'll have to be a little more forceful, you'll have to be a little louder."
Washington state is home to more than 650 aerospace companies, including the Boeing Co., Aviation Technical Services of Everett and ElectroImpact of Mukilteo. The industry employs approximately 97,800 people in Washington.
Lawmakers and Gov. Jay Inslee paraded before 75 members of the alliance which is made up of representatives from aerospace companies, government and education.
"What I saw for aerospace is the commitment that they have made to the aerospace industry is significant and will allow us to move forward in a real positive way," said Linda Lanham, executive director of the alliance.
Hobbs and two Republican senators, Janea Holmquist Newbry of Moses Lake and Mark Schoesler of Ritzville, warned revisions in the workers compensation program passed by the Senate are in danger because of political differences with the Democrat-controlled House.
House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, said significant changes made to the program in the last two years need time to take root first.
He focused on the House desire to invest in building a new aerospace training center in Renton and beefing up a program to provide low-interest loans to students of the Washington Aerospace Training and Research Center at Paine Field.
