Persian Gulf (Apr. 5, 2005) -- Line handlers use teamwork to heave the
shot line from to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson
(CVN 70) during the preliminary stages of an underway replenishment
aboard the guided missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54). Antietam is
assigned to the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group, currently conducting
operations in support of multi-national forces in Iraq and maritime
security operations in the Persian Gulf. Carl Vinson will end its
deployment with a homeport shift to Norfolk, Va., and will conduct a
three-year refuel and complex overhaul. U.S. Navy photo by
