Lockheed S-3B Viking of Sea Control Squadron (VS) 32 "Maulers" manoeuvring over the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) while sailing through the Arabian/Persian Gulf. Yellow shirts are worn by aircraft handlers and aircraft directors that shuttle aircraft around the carrier's tight and chaotic deck. Catapult Officers and Arresting Gear Officers also wear yellow shirts. Because yellow shirts are so involved with taxiing aircraft, they are often featured prominently in dramatic photos depicting carrier deck operations. This photo was made during the sundown cruise (the very final deployment) of the S-3B.

Operated by VS-24 on the USS John F. Kennedy.
