The aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) receives fuel from the Military Sealift Command fleet replenishment oiler USNS Guadalupe (T-AO 200) while steaming through the central Pacific Ocean. The ships will both be taking part in the 'Rim of the Pacific' exercise off Hawaii in July with units from Australia, Chile, Japan, the Netherlands, Peru, South Korea, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Taking part in RIMPAC will be 35 ships, six submarines, more than 150 aircraft, and 20,000 sailors, airmen, marines, soldiers and coast guardsmen. This will be Kitty Hawk's last exercise before returning to the U.S. mainland for decommissioning in early 2009. Kitty Hawk will be replaced by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) this summer as the only U.S. carrier operating from Japan.
