Pacific Ocean (May 27, 2006) -- An F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to the
Royal Maces of Strike Fighter Squadron Two Seven (VFA-27) prepares to
land on the flight deck of USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). The F/A-18E provides
the carrier strike group with a strike fighter that has significant
growth potential and increased range, endurance and ordnance carrying
capabilities. Currently under way in the 7th Fleet area of
responsibility (AOR), Kitty Hawk demonstrates power projection and sea
control as the U.S. Navy's only permanently forward deployed aircraft
carrier. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Stephen W. Rowe
