oil level of an SH-60F Seahawk tail rotor gearbox on the flight deck
aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). This is one of the helicopter
anti-submarine squadron's pre-flight checks. Currently undergoing
sea trials, Kitty Hawk recently completed an extensive five-month
maintenance period in Yokosuka, Japan. Kitty Hawk is America's
oldest active warship, and the world's only permanently
forward-deployed aircraft carrier. U.S. Navy photo by
