040622-N-6213R-051 Pacific Ocean (June 22, 2004) - Flight deck personnel use stiff bristle brooms to scrub the flight deck during a flight deck scrub-down (SCRUBEX) aboard the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) SCRUBEXs reduce fluids, grease and dirt that can make the flight deck and catwalks extremely slippery and can cause aircraft and personnel to skid or slip. Stennis and embarked Carrier Air Wing Fourteen (CVW-14) are currently at sea participating in a regularly scheduled deployment. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Mark J.

Where can I get some of that SCRUBEX? Does it work on kid and dog grime?
I joined the Navy to see the world, and what did I see?
I saw the sea.
Oh, the Atlantic isn't romantic
and the Pacific isn't terrific,
and the Caribbean ain't what it's cracked up to be
The new surface on these flight decks is pretty neat. I guess you still need to swab the deck though. Thanks PE.
