Atlantic Ocean (Aug. 2, 2005) -- Air Department Sailors watch as the ship's emergency landing barricade is raised during flight deck drills aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). In emergency situations, the barricade is stretched across the carrier deck to stop distressed aircraft unable to return safely to shore. Truman is currently conducting carrier qualifications and operations in the Atlantic Ocean. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Kristopher Wilson (RELEASED)
