Persian Gulf (June 2, 2005) -- An F/A-18C Hornet assigned to the
"Argonauts" of Strike Fighter Squadron One Four Seven (VFA-147) rolls
into a turn while performing operations over Iraq. The Argonauts are
attached to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70).
The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is currently conducting operations
in support of multi-national forces in Iraq and maritime security
operations in order to set the conditions for security and stability in
the region. Vinson will end its deployment with a homeport shift to
Norfolk, Va., and commence a three-year refuel and complex overhaul.
