A plane director signals to the pilot of an E2-C Hawkeye from the "Tigertails" of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 125 during flight operations on the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Eisenhower and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 are on a regularly scheduled deployment in support of Maritime Security Operations (MSO). MSO help set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment, as well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. These operations deny international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or as a transport for personnel weapons or other material. (U. S.
