BREMERTON, Wash. — The John C. Stennis is back in the water for the first time since entering dry dock in September.

The Navy aircraft carrier had been on land for nearly four months at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for maintenance. It went into dry dock in late September after being deployed to the Middle East in January of 2007.

Workers at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard started flooding the dry dock on Wednesday and the Stennis returned to the water on Friday. Although the Stennis is back in the water, the ship’s maintenance period is scheduled to last until March.

1. If Stennis got a carrier named after him, Trent Lott is sure to get one!
as a reward for awarding defense contracts to his own district.
