The US Navy sends us links to the video of USS HARRY TRUMAN (CVN 75) launching attacks against ISIS from the Mediterranean Sea;
The Navy sent us a really high-definition video file, but I had to alter it to fit on the blog;
AF/A-18 Super Hornet strike fighters and E-2C Hawkeye airborne early warning and command and control aircraft launch from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group is deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.
My last long cruise was on this ship!! Bad ass!!
Give’em Hell Harry!!!
Hey Combat Action Ribbons for everyone Yeah!!!
Don’t you have to be shot at, or at least qualify for HF/IDP to rate the CAR?
I love watching those planes launch.
It’s big and it’s pretty, but two of these and it becomes a submarine. There’s two types of ships in the Navy…..
