At sea aboard USS Saipan (LHA 2) Jan. 20, 2003 -- Fire Controlman Petty Officer 3rd Class Brian Lewis from Pittsburgh, Pa., prepares a Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) for upload into the guided missile's launching system. The RAM missile has been fired in over 150 flight tests to date, resulting in a success rate of over 95 percent. This extremely high reliability is the culmination of years of development, testing, and design improvements.
