Description
English: At sea aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Sep. 23, 2002 -- A Sailor gives the signal to launch an F/A-18 “Hornet” from one of four steam driven catapults on the ship’s flight deck. The “ Hornet” is an all-weather aircraft used as an attack aircraft as well as a fighter. In its fighter mode, the F/A-18 is used primarily as a fighter escort and for fleet air defense; in its attack mode, it is used for force projection, interdiction and close and deep air support. Lincoln and her embarked Carrier Air Wing Fourteen (CVW-14) are on a scheduled six-month deployment conducting combat operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
