Pacific Ocean (Feb. 29, 2004) -- A catapult "shooter" takes a quick
look around to make sure all is clear before signaling clear for launch
for a F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the "Diamondbacks" of Strike
Fighter Squadron One Zero Two (VFA-102) aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63).
Currently under way in the 7th Fleet area of operation (AOR), Kitty
Hawk is America's oldest active warship, and the first of the
modern super carriers commissioned in 1961. U.S. Navy photo by
Photographer's Mate Airman Bo J. Flannigan. (RELEASED)
