GULF OF MEXICO (Aug. 1, 2013)F/A-18 Hornets from the U.S. Navy flight demonstration squadron, the Blue Angels, fly over the littoral combat ship Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Coronado (LCS 4) during a training flight over the Gulf of Mexico. While the Blue Angels' 2013 air show season has been canceled due to sequestration, the pilots fly sorties to maintain proficiency in the F/A-18 Hornet. Coronado is scheduled to be commissioned later this year. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Rachel McMarr
