Lester from Atlanta, Ga., ensures the safe lifting of the admiral's
barge from the hangar bay aboard USS Enterprise (CVN 65) into the
waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Enterprise is one of seven aircraft
carriers involved in Summer Pulse 2004. Summer Pulse 2004 is the
simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike groups (CSGs),
demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat power
across the globe, in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and
coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's first deployment
under its new Fleet Readiness Plan (FRP). The strike group will conduct
a scheduled training exercise followed by overseas pulse operations.
