Iraq (May 16, 2005) -- An F/A-18C Hornet, assigned to the "Argonauts"
of Strike Fighter Squadron One Four Seven (VFA-147), receives fuel from
the refueling boom of a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker during a
combat mission flown from the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl
Vinson (CVN 70). The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is conducting
operations in support of multi-national forces in Iraq and maritime
security operations in the Persian Gulf. Carl Vinson will end its
deployment with a homeport shift to Norfolk, Va., and will conduct a
three-year refuel and complex overhaul. U.S. Navy photo by Cmdr. Don
