Aboard USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) Nov. 12, 2003 -- A routine Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) sprinkler system maintenance check is performed in the hanger bay aboard USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67).  AFFF is a concentrated mixture that was developed to combat class B fires.  AFFF is a slightly amber-colored liquid that, when in solution with water, floats on the surface of fuels and creates a vapor lock.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd  Class Christian Weibull.  (RELEASED)
