SDP2003060102-USS CONSTELLATION, June 1 (UPI) - Shooters (Launching Officers), from left, Lt Chris Moorehead, LOR Pat Lehman and LCDR Rick Martinez have a little fun with a team launch as the last aircraft, an S-3 Viking, takes off from the USS Constellation off the coast of California as it makes itÕs way home to San Diego after seven months of duty in the war with Iraq. The Connie, as she is called by her crew, is to be decommissioned on her return after being in service for forty two years. jg/ec/ Earl S.Cryer UPI
