Thirteen months since the previous deployment, Higgins commenced a second deployment on 6 May 2005 in company with the Nimitz Strike Group. A brief stop at the North Island Naval Weapons Station provided Higgins with several new combat capabilities, particularly the new Tactical Tomahawk Cruise Missiles and the High Explosive Electronically Timed (HE-ET) and Kinetic Energy Electronically Timed (KE-ET) 5-inch projectiles. While the TACTOM missiles significantly enhance Higgins '  s Strike warfare capabilities, the HE-ET and KE-ET rounds provide the ship more capable defense against an asymmetric surface threat.(USS_Higgins.html#cite_note-US_Navy-5) [ 5]       (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crystal_Project_video_camera.png)     (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_First_72_Hours_(2000),_US_Navy.webm) (File:The First 72 Hours (2000), US Navy.webm) The First 72 Hours (2000)        2000 documentary short film showing daily life as a sailor aboard USS Higgins .
