PACIFIC OCEAN (Aug. 24, 2007) -- Friends and family of Sailors aboard
Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) watch a
demonstration of the ship's close-in weapon system as part of an air
power demonstration. The demonstration showed the capability of Stennis
and Carrier Air Wing 9 to service members' family and friends who were
invited to get underway with the ship. Stennis is returning to the
United States after a 7.5-month-long deployment promoting peace,
regional cooperation and stability and supporting the global war on
terrorism. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman John
