F.O.D. WALKDOWN AT DUSK
Twice daily sailors line up from
the bow of the ‘Stennis’ and
slowly walk the length of both
the hangar bay and the flight deck
searching for debris which may
cause damage to an aircraft jet
engine if sucked in. FOD stands
for foreign object debris.
FOD walkdowns are an ‘all hands’
effort; every sailor onboard is
encouraged to participate.
