U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Area of Responsibility (Jan. 6, 2007)
-- The Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill (CG 52)
sails alongside the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower (CVN 69) during fueling at sea. Eisenhower and embarked
Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 are on a regularly scheduled deployment in
support of Maritime Security Operations (MSO). MSO help set the
conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment, as
well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of
regional nations. These operations deny international terrorists use of
the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport
personnel, weapons or other material. U.S. Navy photo by Mass
