U.S.S. Carl Vinson, Carrier Air Wing 11, Fighter Attack Squadron 22 (Fighting Redcocks of VFA-22 - F/A-18C, Lot 12 birds) rounding the tip of India on our way to the North Arabian Sea (Persian Gulf) for continued (since Desert Shield/Desert Storm) enforcement of the southern No Fly zone in Iraq (Operation Southern Watch). On October 7th 2001 the Vinson launched the first of more than 4,200 combat sorties on those godless bottom feeding S.O.B.'s. to kick off Operation Enduring Freedom. The Redcock's alone put down over 300 TONS of conventional ordinance.
