Atlantic Ocean (Feb. 1, 2006) -- Crash and Salvage team members attach the sling of a carrier vessel crash crane to an F/A-18 Hornet in order to remove the aircraft from the Landing Area of the flight deck during a drill aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN-73). George Washington is conducting carrier qualifications for the first time since completing a Docked Planned Incremental Availability (DPIA) period at Northrop Grumman Newport News Shipyard.
