San Diego, Calif. (Oct. 26, 2003) -- As a U.S. Navy SH-60 Seahawk flies above, USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) transits the San Diego channel, from Naval Air Station North Island, Calif., as it heads to sea under a cloud of smoke from nearby burning wildfires. Stennis is leaving port to conduct scheduled training exercises in the Southern California operating area. At least 10 fires had burned more than 280,000 acres and destroyed at least 850 homes by Sunday night. Smoke is also delaying flights into and out of area airports.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Mark Rebilas.  (RELEASED)
