I am looking for pictures of U.S. combat ships that are fitted with Sea RAM(Rolling Airframe Missile) defense system,
and I think I have seen one in the news photo columns, but I forgot which one was it.

At sea aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) Mar. 21, 2002 -- USS Kitty Hawk tests the newly installed RIM-116A Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM). RAM is a lightweight quick-reaction high-firepower anti-ship weapon system. The RAM was designed as an all-weather, high-firepower, low-cost, self-defense system against anti-ship missiles. This is the first time an aircraft carrier has utilized the RAM system. Kitty Hawk is conducting work-ups in preparation for a scheduled deployment and is the Navy’s only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier operating out of Yokosuka, Japan.

Thanks for the help. I also remembered seeing a Spruance class destroyer photo in the news photo section, which is also fitted with Sea RAM at the stern, guess I will try to look for that as well.
