Hospital Corpsman takes a test sampling of an �unknown� simulated contaminant during a 'bio-contamination' drill
Summary
At sea aboard USS Kitty Hawk During a bio-contamination drill aboard the Kitty Hawk, Hospital Corpsman 1st class Felixberto Ocampo from Cauite, Republic of the Philippines, takes a test sampling of the unknown simulated contaminant to determine whether or not it is hazardous. Kitty Hawk's current mission is to provide a forward presence in the Asia/Pacific region, conduct training and exercises with regional allies, and, as Americas 9-1-1 Battle Group, remain available to respond to emergent national taskings when and where needed. Kitty Hawk is the worlds only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier and operates out of Yokosuka, Japan. U.S. Navy photo by Photographers Mate 3rd class Jo Wilbourn. File# 021016-N-0685W-001
Aircraft carriers are warships that act as airbases for carrier-based aircraft. In the United States Navy, these consist of ships commissioned with hull classification symbols CV (aircraft carrier), CVA (attack aircraft carrier), CVB (large aircraft carrier), CVL (light aircraft carrier), CVN (aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion) and CVAN (attack aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion). The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy was USS Langley (CV-1) on 20 March 1922.
