051114-N-2984R-013 Norfolk, Va. (Nov. 14, 2005) - Electrical cables sit on the deck at Lambert's Point Deperming Station in Norfolk, Va., while a Sailor assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) stands a force protection watch on the pier. While at the station, the ship is wrapped from bow to stern with the large electrical cables, which are charged with a current that removes the magnetic field from the ship. Ships are routinely demagnetized to counter magnetic mines and to stop interference with communication and navigation equipment. Navy photo by Photo
