U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Area of Responsibility (Jan. 10,
2007) -- An F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to the "Pukin" DogsÓ
of Strike Fighter Squadron One Four Three (VFA-143) launches from the
flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower (CVN 69). Eisenhower and embarked Carrier Air Wing Seven
(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 Seaman
