Persian Gulf (June 25, 2005) -- An F/A-18C Hornet from the "Argonauts" of Strike Fighter Squadron One Four Seven (VFA-147) launches from one of four steam-powered catapults on the flight deck aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70). The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is currently deployed to the Persian Gulf conducting operations in support of multi-national forces in Iraq. 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 2nd Class Inez Lawson (RELEASED)
