Artist's commentary
25 August 2004
Part of JASEX'04, CV-63 was some three days shy of having been forced to depart the island early due to the approach of Super Typhoon Chaba. CVW-5 can be seen on deck with F/A-18Fs (VFA-102), F/A-18Cs (VFA-192 and VFA-195), and admittedly rare S-3Bs from VS-21 Fighting Redtails. Less picturesque is the tail of an EA-6B (VAQ-136) to the left side of the photograph.
Notably similar is post #413.
