U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Area of Responsibility (Jan. 12,
2007) -- An F/A-18F Super Hornet from the "Jolly Rogers" of Strike
Fighter Squadron (VFA) 103 launches from the flight deck of 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.
