Pacific Ocean (Aug. 9, 2004) -- The aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) plows through the waters of the Pacific Ocean as it makes its approach to the Military Sealift Command (MSC) oiler USNS Yukon (T-AO 202) before commencing replenishment at sea (RAS) evolution. Currently underway in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR), Kitty Hawk demonstrates power projection and sea control as the world's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier, operating from Yokosuka, Japan.
