North Atlantic Ocean (July 11, 2004) -- An F/A-18 Hornet assigned to
the "Gunslingers" of Strike Fighter Squadron One Zero Five (VFA-105)
makes an arrested landing aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75). The ship
is participating in Majestic Eagle, a multinational exercise being
conducted off the coast of Morocco. The exercise demonstrates the
combined force capabilities and quick response times of the
participating naval, air, undersea and surface warfare groups.
Countries involved in the NATO led exercise include the United Kingdom,
Morocco, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey. Truman's
participation in Majestic Eagle is part of her scheduled deployment
supporting the Navy's new fleet response plan (FRP) Summer Pulse 2004,
the simultaneous deployment of seven carrier strike groups (CSGs),
demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat across
the globe, in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and coalition
military forces. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Ryan
