Persian Gulf (June 8, 2005) -- Aviation Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class Kaylon Boston keeps a close eye over Airman Jonathan Temper's shoulder while performing training on directing an F/A-18C Hornet onto one of four steam powered catapults during flight operations aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70). The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is currently deployed 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. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Dusty Howell (RELEASED)
