PERSIAN GULF (Aug. 5, 2007) -- Sailors aboard the amphibious assault
ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) (BHR) take part in a fish call off
the ship's stern gate. Fish call was sponsored by BHR's Morale, Welfare
and Recreation (MWR) aimed at providing some fun and a break from
routine. The BHR Expeditionary Strike Group is operating in the U.S.
5th Fleet Area of Operations and will be conducting Maritime Operations
(MO). U.S. and coalition forces conduct MO to 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 seek to disrupt violent extremists' use of
the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport
personnel, weapons or other materials. U.S Navy photo by Mass
