Pacific Ocean (Jan. 13, 2005) -- Flight deck personnel stretch-out the
emergency-landing barricade during a drill on the flight deck aboard
USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). In emergency situations, the barricade is
stretched across the carrier deck to stop distressed aircraft unable to
return safely to shore. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is currently
underway in the Pacific Ocean conducting routine carrier operations.
