Crewmembers aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) prepare to rig the emergency-landing barricade during a flight deck drill as the ship operates in the western Pacific on Nov. 18, 2004. The barricade can be quickly rigged and raised across a carrier's flight deck to catch an aircraft experiencing a landing gear or tailhook malfunction.
