PACIFIC OCEAN (Aug. 24, 2007) -- An F/A-18C Hornet, from the
"Argonauts" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 147, breaks the sound
barrier while making a high-speed pass close to the Nimitz-class
aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) during an air power
demonstration. The air power demonstration showed the capability of
Stennis and Carrier Air Wing 9 to service members' family and friends
who were invited to get underway with the ship. Stennis is returning to
the United States after a 7.5-month-long deployment promoting peace,
regional cooperation and stability and supporting the global war on
terrorism. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class
