Red Sea (Oct. 31, 2006) -- The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS
Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), background, sails alongside the
nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) after arriving
in the Red Sea to begin its deployment to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of
operations. While in theater, Eisenhower will perform Maritime Security
Operations (MSO) which help set the conditions for security and
stability in the maritime environment, as well as complement the
counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. These
operations deny international terrorists use of the maritime
environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons or
other material. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman
