     Navy Seaman Elizabeth A. Minner, daughter of Cynthia M. and Daniel A. Minner of Cattaraugus, recently returned from a six-month deployment to the Mediterranean Sea and Arabian Gulf while assigned to the guided missile destroyer USS Barry, home ported in Norfolk, VA.
     Minner was one of more than 10,000 Atlantic Fleet Sailors and Marines aboard the ships of the USS George Washington Carrier Battle Group and USS Nassau Amphibious Ready Group.
     Minner's ship is one of the most powerful warships ever put to sea. The computer-based AEGIS weapons system is the heart of the ship's warfighting capability. It centers around a powerful radar that enables the crew to detect, track and fire on more than 100 targets at a time.
     Minner is a 1999 graduate of Cattaraugus Central High School and joined the Navy in May 2002.
