US successfully conducts test to intercept missile via ship for first time

(Worthy News) -The United States successfully used a ship-fired missile to intercept an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, or ICBM, in a first-of-its-kind test, according to the Missile Defense Agency.

The test involved launching an ICBM from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, located in the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles from Hawaii and the West Coast of the continental U.S. on Monday night local time. The destroyer in position, USS John Finn, fired a Standard Missile-3 Block IIA which successfully intercepted the target.

“The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA), and U.S. Navy sailors aboard an Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) System-equipped destroyer intercepted and destroyed a threat-representative Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) target with a Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA missile during a flight test demonstration in the broad ocean area northeast of Hawaii, Nov. 16,” the Missile Defense Agency said in a statement.
