Arabian Gulf (June 21, 2004) - Aviation Boatswain's Mate Airman Aaron Sperry, left, from Lawton, Okla., and Lt. Rich Cochrane, from Wade, N.J., monitor the approach path and arresting gear equipment of an EA-6B Prowler assigned to the "Patriots" of Electronic attack Squadron One Four Zero (VAQ-140) before it lands on the flight deck aboard USS George Washington (CVN 73). The Norfolk, Va. based Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and embarked Carrier Air Wing Seven (CVW-7) are on a regularly scheduled deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Washington is one of seven aircraft carriers involved in Summer Pulse 2004. Summer Pulse 2004 is the simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike groups (CSGs), demonstrating the ability of the Navy 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 deployment under its new Fleet Response Plan (FRP). U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Michael D. Blackwell II (RELEASED)
