Pacific Ocean (Aug. 1, 2004) -- An F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the
"Diamondbacks" of Strike Fighter Squadron One Zero Two (VFA-102)
prepares for an arrested landing aboard the USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63)
after a routine training mission. The Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group
is one of seven carrier strike groups (CSGs) involved in Summer Pulse
2004, demonstrating the Navy's ability to provide credible combat power
across the globe in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and
coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's first test of its
new Fleet Response Plan (FRP). Kitty Hawk is the world's only
permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier, home based in Yokosuka,
Japan. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Jonathan
