The original of this photo was rotated 42 degrees hence the odd top right corner. It is useful because it shows the 4 sheaves on port side of USS Nimitz for the four cross deck pendants/wires with the vacant sheave between No.3 & No.4 for the Barricade (when required). This is the first arrest of CF-03 on 03 Nov 2014.
