     SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74)
returned from sea trial operations April 19 off the coast of
Southern California following an extensive maintenance and
rehabilitation period. This is the first time John C.
Stennis had been underway since arriving at Naval Air
Station North Island last August.
     "I hardly even noticed we were underway," said Airman
Recruit Ernest Woodmore. "I can tell, though, because the
passageways are busier and there is lots of traffic everywhere."
     The sea trial period included events such as general
quarters and man overboard drills, propulsion plant casualty
scenarios and numerous flight deck evolutions.
