Pacific Ocean (July 11, 2006) - Conventionally-powered aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) crash-and-salvage Sailors run to relieve crew members manning a fire truck on the flight deck prior to the next launch cycle. The crash-and-salvage division serves as the ship's flight deck firefighting and rescue team. Currently under way in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility, Kitty Hawk demonstrates power projection and sea control as the U.S. Navy's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier.
