Western Pacific Ocean (Sept. 23, 2003) -- An F/A-18E Super Hornet makes its approach for an arrested landing while four other Super Hornets fly in formation during routine flight operations aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68).  The Nimitz Carrier Strike Group and embarked Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) are deployed to the Western Pacific, and will remain there during the maintenance period of the forward deployed USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). U.S. policy is to maintain at least one operational carrier in the region to ensure a responsive defensive posture.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Elizabeth Thompson.  (RELEASED)
