Pensacola, Fla. (Mar. 18, 2004) -- An F-14B Tomcat assigned to the
"Jolly Rogers" of Fighter Squadron One Zero Three (VF-103) sits in
front of the lighted island hull number aboard the aircraft carrier USS
John F. Kennedy (CV 67) as part of a static display for tours held at a
recent port visit in Pensacola, Florida. Upon completion of a
successful Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), the Kennedy is
in transit back to its homeport of Mayport, Florida from the Gulf of
Mexico. COMPTUEX is an intermediate level exercise designed to forge
the strike group into a cohesive fighting team and is a critical step
in pre-deployment training. During COMPTUEX, more than a dozen ships
and Carrier Air Wing One Seven (CVW-17) conducted war game
exercise using training ranges along the East Coast of the U.S. and the
Gulf of Mexico. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Joshua
