PERSIAN GULF (June 23, 2007) -- As viewed from the integrated catapult
control system, or bubble, an F/A-18F Super Hornet, from the "Black
Knights" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 154, launches from the flight
deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). The
bubble is a primary station for launching aircraft from the ship. John
C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group is on a scheduled deployment in support
of the global war on terrorism and maritime operations. Maritime
operations help set the conditions for security and stability in the
maritime environment, as well as complement counter-terrorism and
security efforts of regional nations. U.S. Navy photo by Mass
