GULF OF ALASKA (June 16, 2009) -- Sailors run clear of the landing area
after attaching a cargo pendant to the bottom of an MH-60S Sea Hawk
from the Eightballers of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 8 as it
hovers over the flight deck of USNS Bridge (T-AOE 10) to pick up
pallets of supplies for transfer to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier
USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) during a replenishment at sea. Stennis and
Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9 are participating in Northern Edge 2009, a
joint exercise which focuses on detecting and tracking of units at sea,
in the air and on land. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication
