A U.S. CH-53E Super Stallion is seen during Exercise "Panamax" aboard the U.S.S. Tarawa in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in Panama August 15, 2008. Troops from countries across the Americas started a major military exercise on Friday to defend the Panama Canal from an attack by a fictional terrorist group bent on damaging the world economy. The event, dubbed Panamax, is part of an annual exercise at the Panama Canal, which handles as much as 5 percent of world trade each year. Picture taken August 15, 2008. REUTERS/Alberto Lowe (PANAMA)
