An EA-6B Prowler aircraft catches one of the four arresting wires on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) as the ship conducts flight operations in the Atlantic Ocean on Nov. 17, 2005. Enterprise and its embarked Carrier Air Wing 1 are underway in the Atlantic to conduct tailored ship's training. The all-weather Prowler provides protection for strike aircraft, ground troops and ships by jamming enemy radar, electronic data links, communications and obtains tactical electronic intelligence within the combat area.
