Atlantic Ocean (July 15, 2005) -- An Aviation Ordnanceman, temporarily
assigned to Carrier Air Wing Arm/De-arm, signals the pilot of an
F/A-18A+ Hornet, assigned to the “Silver Eagles” of Marine
Fighter Attack Squadron One One Five (VMFA-115), to keep hands clear of
all controls while ordnance is being armed prior to launching from the
flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman
(CVN 75). Truman is currently conducting carrier qualifications and
operations off the East Coast and is also participating in a Joint Task
Force Exercise (JTFEX) with USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). JTFEX is a
key component in the training cycle of an aircraft carrier and carrier
air wing in the U.S. Navy Fleet Response Plan. U.S. Navy photo by
