Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin visited USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), where she met crew members and thanked them for their service.

Palin accepted the invitation to visit Stennis, while the ship was transiting in the Gulf of Alaska, participating in exercise Northern Edge 2009.

“When we saw the invitation come across my desk, we jumped at it,” said Palin. “We said, ‘Yes, whatever it takes, let’s get out there and let’s thank these fine young men and women for serving America on this carrier.’”

The governor’s visit began as she landed aboard Stennis in a C-2A Greyhound from the “Providers” of Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 30.

Later in her tour, Palin visited flight deck control and donned flight deck safety gear in order to observe flight operations from the flight deck.

Palin saw Sailors and Marines in action when she toured the bridge, primary flight control, the hangar bays and a weapons magazine. Read the rest of the story here.
