- The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Anzio (CG 68) steams
behind the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN
69) as an SH-60F Seahawk from the "Nightdippers" of Helicopter
AntiÐsubmarine Squadron Five (HS-5) prepares to land on
Eisenhower's flight deck. Anzio, Eisenhower and embarked Carrier Air
Wing Seven (CVW-7) are on a regularly scheduled deployment in support
of Maritime Security Operations (MSO). MSO help set the conditions for
security and stability in the maritime environment, as well as
complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional
nations. These operations deny international terrorists use of the
maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel,
weapons or other material. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication
