040623-N-4166B-001 Pacific Ocean (June 23, 2004) - Aviation Machinist Mate Airman Paul Ward, from Orlando, Fla., inspects the afterburner section of a General Electric F404-GE-402 enhanced performance turbofan engine used by F/A-18C Hornets aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). The jet engine can produce 17,700 pounds static thrust and can propel an F/A-18C Hornet to Mach , almost twice the speed of sound. Lincoln is currently conducting local operations in preparation for an upcoming scheduled deployment, after 10 1/2 months of dry-docked Planned Incremental Availability (PIA) maintenance.
