Atlantic Ocean (Jun. 16, 2004) - An F/A-18C Hornet assigned to the
"Gunslingers" of Strike Fighter Squadron One Zero Five (VFA-105) soars
through the clouds during flight operations from the Nimitz-class
aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). Truman is one of
seven aircraft carriers involved in Summer Pulse 2004. Summer Pulse
2004 is the simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike
groups (CSGs), demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide
credible combat power across the globe, in five theaters with other
U.S., allied, and coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's
first deployment under its new Fleet Response Plan (FRP). The Truman
CSG is conducting a scheduled training exercise followed by overseas
pulse operations. U.S. Navy photo by Lt. Cmdr. Jon Taylor (RELEASED)
