PERSIAN GULF (March 27, 2007) -- An F/A-18E Super Hornet, assigned to
the "Pukin Dogs" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 143, makes an
arrested landing on the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group and
Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 are conducting a dual-carrier exercise with
John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9. This
marks the first time the Stennis and Eisenhower strike groups have
operated together in a joint exercise while deployed to 5th Fleet. This
exercise demonstrates the importance the ability for both strike groups
to plan and conduct dual task force operations as part of the Navy's
commitment to maintaining maritime security and stability in the
region. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Travis
