ARABIAN SEA (March 6, 2007) -- An F/A-18E Super Hornet from the "Pukin'
Dogs" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 143 prepares to conduct an
arrested landing aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower (CVN 69). Eisenhower and embarked Carrier Air Wing (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
