NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- Nearly 7,600 Sailors will leave their homeports when the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) deploys Oct. 13 in support of the global war on terrorism.

The strike group wrapped up Summer Pulse ‘04, a groundbreaking exercise involving seven carrier strike groups, in late July. During this exercise, Truman also completed its Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), successfully performing a series of complex training events, which included naval surface fire support training and air-to-ground bombing off the East Coast of the United States. COMPTUEX is an intermediate level exercise designed to forge the strike group into a cohesive, fighting team and is a critical step in the pre-deployment training cycle.

Commanded by Rear Adm. Michael Tracy, commander, Carrier Strike Group 10, HSTCSG includes the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman with its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, the Norfolk-based guided-missile cruiser USS Monterey (CG 61), the Norfolk-based guided-missile destroyers USS Barry (DDG 52) and USS Mason (DDG 87), the Groton, Conn.-based fast-attack submarine USS Albuquerque (SSN 706) and the combat logistics ship USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8) from Naval Weapons Station Earle, N.J.

Countries involved in the U.S.-led exercise include the United Kingdom, Morocco, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey. Truman's participation in Majestic Eagle is part of her scheduled deployment supporting the Navy's new fleet response plan (FRP) and Summer Pulse '04, the simultaneous deployment of seven carrier strike groups (CSG), demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat power across the globe, in five theaters, with other U.S., allied, and coalition military forces.

President Truman is the only Democrat President for which I have any respect.
He gave the reporters heck for bad mouthing his daughters piano playing.

Interestingly, the press thought Truman was a walking embarrassment for years, esp. after he dropped the bomb. Lately, though, they've dusted him off and announed him to have been a great president...plain spoken, no frills, what you see is what you got, an honest man. Sound like someone else we know????

One of our boys got his commission on the Truman. He is now on the Enterprise. This group will be in our prayers everyday. Please pray for their families as it is such a hardship and we do not appreciate the sacrifices that they make just so we can be safe. Thank God for E-mail and cell phones.

I really had not noticed that.
I just remembered his yelling at the reporters.
I was a little young to know anything else about him.
I do know that the Korean war was his and the UN.
One more mark against him and the UN.
The first war American leaders tried not to win.
