I recently got some officially released US Navy photos.

The first is our younger son John manning the rail as the USS Harry S
Truman got underway from Norfolk Oct 13th for a six month deployment.

John is a newlywed and his bride was one of the hundreds on the pier
seeing the ship off. (Note the shiny new wedding band)

I think the picture says it all.

The second is an impressive shot of the Carrier in transit.


I believe the Trueman was the first nuke powered carrier to visit my home

Truman

port. This was just after the first Gulf War and the papers said it
delivered the most ordinance of any ship over there. The Eisenhauer and

Eisenhower

Lincoln came after that but the new troubles have kept all away since. We
did get a visit from the Salpan (small carrier)and it's escorts a couple
of

Saipan. And its an LHA not a carrier.

weeks ago.
