    A U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornet (Bureau Number 412, tail code 'NH', squadron VMFA-323) has just completed an arrested landing on an aircraft carrier flight deck, with the arresting wire visibly engaged beneath the aircraft. A second F/A-18 bearing the same markings is positioned further back on the deck. A flight deck handler in a green jersey is signaling with a raised hand near the aircraft.

    PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov. 23, 2016) An F/A-18C Hornet, from the Death Rattlers of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 323, lands on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). Nimitz is currently underway conducting Tailored Ship's Training Availability and Final Evaluation Problem (TSTA/FEP), which evaluates the crew on their performance during training drills and real-world scenarios. Once Nimitz completes TSTA/FEP they will begin Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) and Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) in preparation for an upcoming 2017 deployment.
