ARABIAN GULF (January 23, 2008) -- (from top to bottom) The
Nimitz-class nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN
75) performs a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) with the Fast Combat Support
Ship USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8) and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS
Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81). Truman and embarked Carrier Air
Wing (CVW) 3 are underway on a regularly scheduled deployment in
support of Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and Maritime
Security Operations (MSO). MSO help set the conditions for
security and stability in the maritime environment, as well as
complement the counterterrorism and security efforts of regional
nations. These operations seek to disrupt violent extremists' use of
the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport
personnel, weapons or other materials. U.S. Navy photo by Mass
