040729-N-0000X-001 Point Mugu, Calif. (July 29, 2004) - An Arrow anti-ballistic missile is launched as part of the on going United States/Israel Arrow System Improvement Program (ASIP). The missile successfully intercepted a short-range target during tests at the Point Mugu Sea Range in Calif. This was the twelfth Arrow intercept test and the seventh test of the complete Arrow system. The objective of the test was to demonstrate the Arrow system’s improved performance against a target that represents a threat to Israel. The test represented a realistic scenario that could not have been tested in Israel due to test-field safety restrictions. U.S. Navy photo (RELEASED)

They provided medical support to a Chinese fisherman who sustained a life-threatening chest injury the day before.

Things To Do If You Ever Became An Evil Overlord...
When you talk to the hero on the phone, DO NOT taunt him. Instead you WILL say this his dogged perseverance has given you new insight on the futility of your evil ways and that if he leaves you alone for a few months of quiet contemplation you will likely return to the path of righteousness.
(Heroes are incredibly gullible in this regard.)
