USS Harry S. Truman was commissioned July 25, 1998, and completed its final pre-deployment certification exercise in October 2000. After nearly 180 days, Sailors and Marines of the USS Harry S Truman (CVN 75) completed the maiden voyage of the nation's newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The crews of HST and Carrier Air Wing THREE (CVW-3) return to family and loved ones a little older and much wiser for the experiences and lessons learned over the past six months. After more than five weeks of hard work, long hours and most importantly, productive training, USS Harry S Truman Carrier Battle Group was one step closer to deployment readiness. The BG successfully completed its Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), followed by participating in the joint service Fleet Battle Experiment - Hotel before returning to homeport September 1, 2000. For Truman, the Navy's newest aircraft carrier, this was its first time operating as the centerpiece of a full battle group. USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) Wallpaper 2.

The exercise was briefly delayed when the battle group was forced to move south of Puerto Rico to evade Hurricane Debby. After a little more than one month in port, the battle group put to sea again in October for their Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX). JTFEX is the advanced phase of pre-deployment training, during which the battle group will act as part of a larger joint task force composed of units of the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps, as well as NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) forces. Upon successful completion of JTFEX, the Truman Battle Group was certified as ready to deploy. USS Harry S Truman Battle Group departed November 28, 2000, and its deployment included extensive operations in the Mediterranean Sea, Indian Ocean and primarily the Arabian Gulf. While operating in the Arabian Gulf, CVN 75 Battle Group enforced United Nations sanctions on Iraq by diverting 22 vessels with cargoes worth more than $5 million and reduced the number of potential smugglers significantly. CVW-3 aircraft provided more than 70 percent of the strike aircraft enforcing the "No Fly Zone" over southern Iraq and participated in four strikes against Iraqi forces threatening coalition aircraft in the region. The air wing flew 869 sorties, totaling more than 2,700 flight hours, during 84 fly days in support of Operation Southern Watch. Throughout the deployment, the battle group also participated in numerous international exercises, including Arabian Gauntlet, an 11-nation exercise that involved more than 20 ships. Additionally, U.S. Sailors worked with military forces from Oman, Jordan, Tunisia, Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, improving interoperability and strengthening relationships with those countries.
