A Day Aboard the USS Constillation

ABOARD USS CONSTELLATION - JANUARY 10: Daily life aboard the aircraft carrier USS Constellation January 10, 2003 in the Persian Gulf. War planes from the carrier carried out daily missions into the southern no-fly zone over Iraq as part of Operation Southern Watch prior to ground operation in Iraq. The no-flight zones in southern and northern Iraq were established after the 1991 Persian Gulf war to prevent Iraq from carrying out airstrikes against Shiites in southern Iraq and Kurdish forces in the north of the country. The zones were patrolled by the United States Air Force and Navy and by the British. The USS CONSTELLATION was the second ship in the Kitty Hawk - class and the third ship in the Navy to bear the name. Nicknamed 'America?s Flagship', USS Constellation was decommissioned on August 7, 2003, after 41 years, nine months and 11 days of naval service. Since its commissioning, nearly 120,000 Sailors and Marines have served aboard the ship. (Photo by Charles Ommanney/Getty Images)
