Persian Gulf (Dec. 7, 2005) -- Catapult shooters signal to launch an
S-3B Viking, assigned to the "Scouts" of Sea Control Squadron Two Four
(VS-24), 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. Roosevelt and embarked Carrier Air Wing Eight
(CVW-8) are currently underway on a regularly scheduled deployment
conducting maritime security operations. U.S. Navy photo by
