Pacific Ocean (Aug. 5, 2004) - During the aerial Change of Command ceremony for Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron One Four (HS-14), an SH-60F Seahawk helicopter flies pass the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) trailing the national ensign.  Cmdr. Timothy McMahon relieves Cmdr. Baxter Goodly, whose next assignment is as Commanding Officer of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron One Zero (HS-10). The Kitty Hawk Strike Group is one of seven carrier strike groups (CSGs) involved in Summer Pulse '04, demonstrating the Navy's ability to provide credible combat power across the globe in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's first test of its new Fleet Response Plan (FRP). Kitty Hawk is the world's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier, home based in Yokosuka, Japan.
