Pacific Ocean (Aug. 23, 2004) -- USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) comes alongside
the Military Sealift Command (MSC) oiler USNS Yukon (T-A0 202) in the
turbulent seas of the western Pacific Ocean to attempt a
replenishment-at-sea (RAS) evolution. The Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike
Group cut short its port visit in Guam to skirt Super Typhoon Chaba
(19W), which formed west of the island. 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. U.S.
