ABOARD USS KITTY HAWK (CV 63) AT SEA (Feb. 29, 2004) -- USS Chancellorsville (CG 62) launches a BQM-74E drone in support of a NATO Sea Sparrow Missile test firing from USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). Kitty Hawk later fired two NATO Sea Sparrows to seek out and intercept the drone.  Currently under way in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR), Kitty Hawk is the world's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier, operating from Yokosuka, Japan.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class William H.
