U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Area of Responsibility (Jan. 12,
2007) -- The Ticonderoga- class guided missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill
(CG 52) pulls alongside the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower (CVN 69) for a fueling at sea (FAS). Eisenhower and
embarked Carrier Air Wing Seven (CVW-7) are on a regularly
scheduled deployment in support of Maritime Security Operations
(MSO). MSO helps 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.
