Default Sailors spell IKE on deck of Eisenhower

My brother was stationed on the DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, CVN 69. At some
point they all put on their dress whites and spelled out "IKE" on the
deck. Everyone got a picture of this.

Well his was ruined years ago by a flood. I would really like to find
another copy of this picture for him.

Does anyone know of a place on the internet where this picture is? Or
does anyone have a copy of this picture? I would be more then willing
to pay for a quality copy of it.

Thanks in advance

Close but the one he has is just the word "IKE" on it. And alot of the
jet's are on deck as well.

Contact the Public Affairs Officer (PAO) aboard the boat and request it.

How would I go about doing this? Contacting the PAO sounds like a good
idea.

www.navy.mil and find the ship's website. Every website has a PAO
contact of some sort.
