Souda Bay, Crete, Greece (Nov. 1, 2002) -- A Navy P-3C Orion aircraft, assigned to the "War Eagles" of Patrol Squadron One Six (VP-16) lifts off to begin another patrol mission in the region.  VP-16, a Jacksonville, Fla.-based squadron, is currently on a scheduled deployment to the Mediterranean theater in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.  The P-3C is a multi-mission aircraft providing Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW) capabilities.  VP-16 utilizes a wide range of communications, detection, monitoring, reconnaissance and navigation systems to perform their mission.  In addition to advanced electronics, the P-3C can deliver an impressive mix of torpedoes, bombs, and missiles along with pinpoint mine-laying capabilities.  U.S. Navy photo by Paul Farley.  (RELEASED)
