May 28, 2020 - The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier
USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) conducts fixed wing flight
operations at sea including aircraft launching from the
flight deck.
The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group
(HSTCSG) remains at sea in the Atlantic Ocean as a certified
carrier strike group ready for tasking in order to protect
the crew from the risks posed by
COVID-19, following their
successful deployment to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of
operation.
Keeping HSTCSG at sea in the U.S. 2nd Fleet
... in
the sustainment phase of Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) ... allows the ship to maintain a
high level of readiness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
