PACIFIC OCEAN (Oct. 6, 2016) - Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) compete in a chocking and chaining competition on the flight deck. Nimitz is underway conducting sea trials as part of the completion of a 20-month extended planned incremental availability. Once Nimitz completes sea trials, the ship will begin a training and qualification cycle in preparation for an upcoming 2017 deployment. ( Navy photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Holly L.
