The USS James E Williams carries a fearsome arsenal of firepower, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, airlaunched torpedoes and antiship missiles.

With four gas turbine engines, it can reach speeds of up to 30 knots. The US Navy destroyer also has 360° vision, which enables it to track up to 800 targets more than 200 miles away.

Forces News gained exclusive access to the ship as it kept watch over sea lanes and Nato's adversaries in the Mediterranean as part of the alliance's multinational task group in the region.
