Persian Gulf (April 14, 2006) -- USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) and USS
Vicksburg (CG 69) operate together in the Persian Gulf. Both ships have
been on station working to keep the shipping lanes open and free in the
gulf promoting free trade in the region. Reagan is currently deployed
as part of a routine rotation of U.S. maritime forces in support of
Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, as well as conducting
Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in the region. MSO set the
conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment as
well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of
regional nations. MSO 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 Chief Photographer's Mate Spike
