Otaru, Japan (July 01, 2006) -- The conventionally-powered aircraft
carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) sails into Otaru, for the first time in
four years, for a port visit. Kitty Hawk Sailors were able to sightsee,
shop, enjoy recreational activities and participate in community
relation projects with the host nation. Currently under way in
the 7th Fleet area of responsibility, Kitty Hawk demonstrates power
projection and sea control as the U.S. Navy's only permanently,
forward-deployed aircraft carrier. U.S. Navy photo by Mass
