PERSIAN GULF (March 27, 2007) – A plane director moves an E-2C Hawkeye, assigned to the "Tigertails" of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 125, after landing on the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 were conducting a dual-carrier exercise with John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9. This marked the first time the Stennis and Eisenhower strike groups have operated together in a joint exercise while deployed to 5th Fleet. This exercise demonstrated the importance the ability for both strike groups to plan and conduct dual task force operations as part of the Navy’s commitment to maintaining maritime security and stability in the region.
