U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Area of Responsibility (Jan. 6, 2007)
-- An F/A-18E Super Hornet from the "Pukin' Dogs" 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
