Pacific Ocean (July 20, 2004) -- A C-2A Greyhound assigned to the
"Providers" of Fleet Logistic Squadron Three Zero (VRC-30), lands on
the flight deck of USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) during Carrier Qualifications
(CQ), in the western Pacific Ocean. Kitty Hawk is one of seven carrier
strike groups (CSGs) involved in Summer Pulse 2004. Summer Pulse 2004
is the simultaneous deployment of seven carrier strike groups (CSGs),
demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat
capability across the globe, in five theaters with other U.S., allied,
and coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's first
deployment under its new Fleet Response Plan (FRP). Kitty Hawk
