At sea aboard USS Constellation (CV 64) Jan. 3, 2003 -- A flight deck crewmember guides an F-14D Tomcat assigned to the "Bounty Hunters" of Fighter Squadron Two (VF-2) onto one of four steam driven catapults on the ship's flight deck.  This is the last cruise for the Bounty Hunters as their squadron will be decommissioned along with the Constellation after this deployment.  Constellation is on a regularly scheduled six-month deployment conducting combat missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Richard Moore.  (RELEASED)
