Aboard USS Wasp (LHD 1) Aug. 15, 2002 -- Sailors assigned to the ship's deck department lay a fresh coat of paint on the bow of the amphibious assault ship.  The deck department spent much of their liberty time in Marmaris, Turkey, and Rota, Spain, preparing the ship for a Norfolk, Va. homecoming in September.  The Wasp Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) are nearing the end of a scheduled six-month deployment, and have been conducting missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Teresa Ellison.  (RELEASED)
