Carrier USS Harry S. Truman Leaves for Deployment

USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) departed on Monday from Naval Station Norfolk, Va., for a deployment to U.S. 6th Fleet.

Truman, Carrier Air Wing 1, guided-missile destroyers USS Jason Dunham (DDG-109) and USS Stout (DDG-55) and guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG-64) are set to sail to the Eastern Mediterranean.

“This deployment comes on the heels of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group’s nine-month mission that highlighted the need for continuity in our sustained presence amid escalating international tensions,” Adm. Daryl Caudle, commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command, said in a statement.“The operational experience gained through these deployments is invaluable for maintaining a deep bench of skilled warfighters with trust and confidence in their system’s reliability, adaptability and lethality in a rapidly changing security environment.”

Truman’s deployment comes as the Hamas-Israel conflict has gone on for just shy of a year and tensions have persisted in the Red Sea amongst attacks by Houthi forces in Yemen on merchant shipping.

USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group

 The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) Carrier Strike Group (CSG-3) is a United States Navy strike group based in San Diego, California. The group is administratively responsible to Commander, Naval Air Forces Pacific, and operationally serves as the flagship of Carrier Strike Group Three and host to Carrier Air Wing Nine.

Recent Deployment

In July 2024, the USS Abraham Lincoln departed Naval Station North Island, San Diego, and began a deployment to the Middle East. The strike group replaced the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group, which was scheduled to begin heading home from the region. The Lincoln’s deployment was accelerated in response to concerns over Iran’s potential response to the killings of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.

Composition

The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group consists of:

• USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) - Nimitz-class aircraft carrier

• Carrier Air Wing Nine (CVW-9) - embarked air wing

• Destroyer Squadron 21 - embarked destroyer squadron

  • USS O’Kane (DDG-77) - Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer
