Line handlers watch as USS Nimitz (CVN 68) arrives here Oct 24, 2009, for a scheudled post visit. The visit by Nimitz marks the third time in history that an U.S. Navy aircraft carrier has docked pierside in Bahrain. The last carrier to moor pierside for a liberty call in Bahrain was the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) on May 19, 2009, and then over 50 years before that the 11,373-ton Commencement Bay-class escort aircraft carrier USS Rendova (CVE 114) in 1948. The Nimitz Strike Group is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations as part of a regularly scheduled deployment in support of Operations Enduring Freedom as well as regional Maritime Security Operations. Operations in the U.S. 5th Fleet are focused on reassuring regional partners of the United States' commitment to security, which promotes stability and global prosperity. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt.
