Navy's amphibious assault ship USS Boxer 00:03:55.569 --> 00:03:59.449 left San Diego this week to join overseas operations 00:03:59.449 --> 00:04:03.990 amid rising tensions in the Middle East. Ship 00:04:03.990 --> 00:04:07.129 watchers spotted USS Boxer departing on Wednesday, 00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:10.770 March 16, as part of a deployment that was reported 00:04:10.770 --> 00:04:14.150 ahead of schedule. The ship serves as the flagship 00:04:14.150 --> 00:04:17.410 of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group, which includes 00:04:17.410 --> 00:04:21.490 USS Comstock and USS Portland, both also stationed 00:04:21.490 --> 00:04:25.430 in San Diego. Military officials stated that 00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:28.709 the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the 11th 00:04:28.709 --> 00:04:31.790 Marine Expeditionary Unit are conducting routine 00:04:31.790 --> 00:04:36.050 operations in the US 3rd Fleet area. This deployment 00:04:36.050 --> 00:04:38.730 follows the decision to delay the decommissioning 00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:42.290 of the USS Nimitz previously scheduled for May. 00:04:47.329 --> 00:04:51.310 Now on to sports.

High 00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:20.949 Point's previous success came from their rebounding 00:05:20.949 --> 00:05:24.310 and shooting ability, which could exploit Arkansas. 00:05:25.310 --> 00:05:29.129 In local sports, the Padres cruised past the 00:05:29.129 --> 00:05:34.430 White Sox 13 -6 last night in Peoria.

Both Democrats and some 00:07:37.100 --> 00:07:39.879 Republicans questioned the necessity of this 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.819 funding after substantial defense appropriations 00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:46.639 last year. A U .S. official confirmed that the 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.839 Department of Defense has asked the White House 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:52.519 to approve this request.

Let's talk science. 43 years ago, scientists 00:09:28.629 --> 00:09:32.370 dropped gophers onto a volcano. And today, they 00:09:32.370 --> 00:09:36.870 are tiny heroes. What began as a bold experiment 00:09:36.870 --> 00:09:40.370 has proved to be a significant ecological intervention. 00:09:41.409 --> 00:09:43.929 Following the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 00:09:43.929 --> 00:09:47.970 May of 1980, scientists released gophers to stimulate 00:09:47.970 --> 00:09:51.980 beneficial bacteria and fungi. This action helped 00:09:51.980 --> 00:09:55.179 create a microbial community that improved nutrient 00:09:55.179 --> 00:09:58.700 retention for plant life. Six years after the 00:09:58.700 --> 00:10:01.419 gopher introduction, the area flourished with 00:10:01.419 --> 00:10:05.120 40 ,000 plants, while untouched plots remained 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.919 barren. Now decades later, mycorrhizal fungi 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.620 continue to support thriving vegetation. This 00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:15.360 highlights the vital interdependence of nature. 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.600 And in entertainment news, Spider -Man Brand 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.799 New Day is already web -slinging its way to history. 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.379 The Sony Pictures trailer, released on Wednesday 00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:32.220 morning, has become the biggest trailer of all 00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:37.779 time with $718 .6 million views in 24 hours. 00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:41.360 The Spidey trailer broke the previous record 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.279 held by Deadpool and Wolverine, which had $365 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.279 million views.
