ABOARD USS KITTY HAWK, Guam - More than 5,000 Sailors on

board USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) along with elements of the

Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group (CSG) pulled in to Apra

Harbor Aug. 19 for a scheduled port visit during the ship`s

current underway period.



While taking liberty in this tropical paradise, Sailors will

have ample opportunity to rest, relax and take advantage of

the world-famous hospitality offered by Guam. Many of the

Sailors are expected to take in the island`s scenic

attractions and provide a significant boost the local

economy through the purchase of various goods and services.



Kitty Hawk and the embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 have

been at sea in the western Pacific Ocean, participating in

various military exercises and readiness demonstrations.



During this underway period, the Kitty Hawk CSG participated

in maritime readiness demonstration Summer Pulse `04, a test

of the Navy`s new Fleet Response Plan, and Joint Air and Sea

Exercise (JASEX) `04 with the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74)

CSG.



Capt. Thomas Parker, commanding officer of Kitty Hawk, Capt.

Joseph Aucoin, commander of CVW-5 and Capt. Sam Perez, the

embarked commodore of Destroyer Squadron 15, are expected to

pay courtesy visits to various community leaders and

business organizations during their stay.



Kitty Hawk was commissioned April 29, 1961. It is America`s

oldest active war ship. Kitty Hawk is the first of the

modern "super carriers," and is the Navy`s only permanently

forward-deployed aircraft carrier, operating from Yokosuka,

Japan.



The Kitty Hawk CSG is the largest carrier strike group in

the Navy and is composed of Kitty Hawk, Carrier Air Wing

(CVW) 5, the guided-missile cruisers USS Chancellorsville

(CG 62) and USS Cowpens (CG 63), and Destroyer Squadron 15.



CVW-5, embarked aboard Kitty Hawk with more than 70

aircraft, operates from Atsugi, Japan, as another essential

element of naval aviation and 7th Fleet operations.



Destroyer Squadron 15 is comprised of the guided-missile

cruiser USS Vincennes (CG 49), guided-missile destroyers USS

Curtis Wilbur (DDG 54) and USS John S. McCain (DDG 56), the

destroyer USS Cushing (DD 985), and the fast frigates USS

Vandegrift (FFG 48) and USS Gary (FFG 51).
