Military shoots down missile in test off Hawaii (AP)

This photo released by the Department of Defense shows one of two interceptor missiles launched from the USS Lake Erie based at Pearl Harbor on Thursday June 5, 2008. The U.S. military intercepted a ballistic missile Thursday in the first such sea-based test since a Navy cruiser shot down an errant satellite earlier this year. The military fired the target, a Scud-like missile with a range of a few hundred miles, from a decommissioned amphibious assault ship near Hawaii's island of Kauai. The USS Lake Erie fired two interceptor missiles that shot down the target in its final seconds of flight about 12 miles above the Pacific Ocean. The target was shot down about 100 miles northwest of Kauai about five minutes after it was fired.
