PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 23, 2016) - Sailors place a slot seal into the rail of a catapult on USS John C. Stennis' (CVN 74) flight deck after the last launch of a launch and recovery cycle to prevent debris from falling in. Providing a ready force supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific, Stennis is operating as part of the Great Green Fleet on a regularly scheduled 7th Fleet deployment.
