U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Area of Responsibility (Jan. 8, 2007)
-- An F/A-18C Hornet from the "Wildcats" of Strike Fighter
Squadron (VFA) 131 prepares to make an arrested landing aboard
the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN
69). Eisenhower and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 are on a
regularly scheduled deployment in support of Maritime Security
Operations (MSO). MSO help set the conditions for security and
stability in the maritime environment, as well as complement the
counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. These
operations deny international terrorists use of the maritime
environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons or
other material. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd
