An F/A-18E Super Hornet strike fighter from the ?Salty Dogs? of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Two Three (VX-23) performs a "touch and go" on the flight deck of USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). The carrier is underway in the Atlantic Ocean conducting flight deck certification. Certification ensures that all components of the flight deck operation function safely and smoothly. This means hardware and personnel. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer?s Mate 2nd Class Angela M. Virnig.
