Caption:
ABOARD USS KITTY HAWK (March 22, 2001) -- USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) makes
her way towards Changi Pier. Kitty Hawk is the first U.S.
aircraft carrier to moor at the Republic of Singapore's new deep-draft
vessel pier at Changi Naval Base. This new facility is one of the
few piers in the Pacific that is large enough to berth a carrier and
only one of two located in Southeast Asia. Singapore's strategic
location at the mouth of the Malacca Strait and the pier's deep-draft
capability will enhance regional stability. Kitty Hawk is in
Singapore for a scheduled port visit during a routine deployment.
