Pacific Ocean (Feb. 28, 2004) -- An F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the "Diamondbacks" of Strike Fighter Squadron One Zero Two (VFA-102), launches from one of four steam powered catapults aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). The "Diamondbacks" are a new addition to Carrier Air Wing Five (CVW-5) embarked aboard Kitty Hawk, replacing the F-14A Tomcats of Fighter Squadron One Five Four (VF-154).  Currently under way in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR), Kitty Hawk is the United State's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier, operating from Yokosuka, Japan.
