Yokosuka, Japan (May 20, 2003) -- The USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) hull inspection team, assembled by the ship's chief engineer, walks toward the screws of the Kitty Hawk.  The team inspects the hull to assess how much maintenance may be required.  Kitty Hawk is conducting scheduled maintenance at her forward-deployed operating location in Yokosuka, Japan.  The carrier recently returned from operations with coalition forces in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Persian Gulf during Operation Iraqi Freedom, the multi-national coalition effort to liberate the Iraqi people, eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and end the regime of Saddam Hussein.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Bo Flannigan.  (RELEASED)
