Persian Gulf (June 1, 2005) -- Two S-3B Vikings assigned to the
"Screwbirds" of Sea Control Squadron Three Three (VS-33), launch from
the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson
(CVN 70), to commence an airborne change of command for the squadron.
Cmdr. Ian Vatet relieved Cmdr. Willam Nolan as commanding officer of
the squadron. The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is currently
deployed in support of multi-national forces in Iraq and maritime
security operations in order to set the conditions for security and
stability in the region. 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 Airman Crystal Vigil
