Persian Gulf (June 29, 2005) - An Aviation Structural Mechanic assigned to the "Eightballers" of Anti-Submarine Helicopter Squadron Eight (HS-8), performs a pre-flight check on the tail rotor of an SH-60F Seahawk helicopter aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70). The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is currently deployed to the Persian Gulf conducting operations in support of multi-national forces in Iraq. Vinson will end its deployment with a homeport shift to Norfolk, Va., and commence a three-year refuel and complex overhaul. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Nicole L.
