NORFOLK (NNS) -- More than 7,300 Sailors from 17 commands and three staffs left their homeports Nov. 5 as Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) deployed to the Central Command Area of Operations as part of the ongoing rotation to support Maritime Security Operations in the region.

According to Rear Adm. Bill Gortney, commander, Carrier Strike Group (CCSG) 10, the mission of the HSTCSG is to be ready, when called upon, to support theater commanders. He emphasized that throughout all operations, safety will remain a primary focus.

"We are a robust strike group able to support the needs of our president," Gortney said. "We are joined in this fight and our strike group by a coalition - a Canadian frigate and a British destroyer."

May God Bless the Truman and crew in every way. With fair winds and following seas, always.

[Locomotive Breath]

Give ‘em hell Harry!!

And HST is supposed to have replied:

"I never gave anyone hell, I just told the truth and it felt like hell."

Lotta' truth in a CSG.

"We are a robust strike group able to support the needs of our president," Gortney said.

Gortney also said, I believe, to a local (Norfolk) TV interview, "Our mission is to put warheads on foreheads".

Have a good deployment TBG. Looking forward to seeing you steaming west, north of Cape Henry, in the spring.

You need a current photo. The one you used is about three and a half years old.

[Broker]

The sailors refer to this capial ship as the “Harry A$$”

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Can anyone guess what name the middle initial stood for ?

[Broker]

Must be SHIPP

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Noooo

[Broker]

Yeah, S. stands for S. He got the middle initial S. in order to appease each side of his family..

Thanks for bringing this up. This family got things done.

[Freedom4US]

Didn’t stand for anything?

[ArrogantBustard]

I like that ... “GIVE EM HELL” on the bow and “BUCK STOPS (here?)” on the angle.

[savedbygrace]

His middle name was S and it didn’t stand for anything else. Note that, technically, there should be no period after it, like this:

Harry S Truman

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Bingo.

[Thermalseeker]

I like that ... “GIVE EM HELL” on the bow and “BUCK STOPS (here?)” on the angle.

Me too, but it should read "the ass whoopin' starts here".....
