South China Sea (Dec. 11, 2005) -- A catapult shooter observes the
raising of the emergency-landing barricade during flight deck drills
aboard the conventionally powered aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV
63). In emergency situations, the barricade is stretched across the
carrier deck to stop aircraft unable to return safely aboard, or to
available sites ashore. Kitty Hawk and embarked Carrier Air Wing Five
(CVW-5) are currently conducting operations in the Western Pacific
Ocean. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Airman Jonathan D. Chandler
