PERSIAN GULF (March 27, 2007) -- An F/A-18F Super Hornet, assigned to
the "Jolly Rogers" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 103, launches from
the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower (CVN 69). Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group and Carrier Air
Wing (CVW) 7 are conducting a dual-carrier exercise with John C.
Stennis Carrier Strike Group and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9. This marks
the first time the Stennis and Eisenhower strike groups have operated
together in a joint exercise while deployed to 5th Fleet. This exercise
demonstrates the importance the ability for both strike groups to plan
and conduct dual task force operations as part of the Navy's commitment
to maintaining maritime security and stability in the region. U.S. Navy
