Persian Gulf (Dec. 13, 2005) -- An S-3B Viking, assigned to the
"Scouts" of Sea Control Squadron Two Four (VS-24), launches from the
flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt
(CVN 71). This is VS-24's last deployment due to the squadron being
decommissioned in 2007 with the retirement of the S-3B Viking aircraft.
