The catapult crew directs an F/A-18C Hornet assigned to the "Dambusters" of Strike Fighter Squadron One Nine Five (VFA-195) forward to get a proper seat of the nose tow bar on the shuttle on the flight deck of USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). The catapult will launch the Hornet at a speed of about 175 mph (152 knots) in 2? seconds within 250 feet. Kitty Hawk is the Navy's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier and is based in Yokosuka, Japan. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Calvert T. Frantom.
