Rear Adm. Allen Myers, commander, Carrier Strike Group 8, talks with Jordanian Lt. Gen. His Royal Highness Prince Feisal Al Hussein aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) as it transits the Suez Canal. Eisenhower and USS Anzio (CG 68) departed the 5th Fleet area of operations, May 4, marking the completion of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group's support for Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in the region. MSO help set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment and complements the counter-terrorism and security efforts in regional nations' littoral waters. Coalition forces also conduct MSO under international maritime conventions to ensure security and safety in international waters so that commercial shipping and fishing can occur safely in the region.
