U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Area of Responsibility (Jan. 8, 2007)
-- Sailors on the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS
Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) prepare to launch an F/A-18F Super Hornet
from the flight deck. Eisenhower and embarked Carrier Air Wing
Seven (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
