Theodore Roosevelt got underway on 6 January for a scheduled month-long training period in the Puerto Rican Operating Area. Near the end of January, TR received orders to proceed across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea. Strike Fighter Squadron 201, based at Naval Air Station Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas, was ordered to active duty as a unit of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8, the first Naval Reserve squadron to deploy aboard an aircraft carrier since the Korean War. TR arrived on station in the Eastern Mediterranean in February. On 22 March 2003 Theodore Roosevelt, along with USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), began launching air strikes into Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. TR returned home on 26 May, and was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation, the Navy Unit Citation, and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal. On Jul. 8, 1994, Capt. Ronald L. Christenson became CVN 71`s fifth Commanding Officer. THEODORE ROOSEVELT and CVW-8 began their fourth deployment on Mar. 1995, operating in the Red Sea in support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH. USS ROOSEVELT also provided a "Forward...from the Sea" presence, conducting flight operations in support of Operations DENY FLIGHT and SHARP GUARD over the skies of Bosnia and in the Adriatic operating areas. DENY FLIGHT evolved into Operation DELIBERATE FORCE, as CVW-8 aircraft led NATO strikes against strategic Bosnian Serb targets aboard Sarajevo-Hersegovina. During USS ROOSEVELT`s transit home, Secretary of the Navy John Dalton came aboard and awarded the Theodore Roosevelt Battle Group the Navy Unit Commendation for its Bosnia operations. In 1996, CVN 71 received its third consecutive Golden Anchor Award and Commander, NavalAir Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet's first Security Excellence Award. CVW-3 joined THEODORE ROOSEVELT in May 1996 prior to her port visit to Halifax, Nova Scotia. On Nov. 1, 1996, Capt.David Architzel became CVN 71`s Sixth Commanding Officer. USS ROOSEVELT deployed for her fifth deployment on Nov. 25, 1996, conducting operations in the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf in support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH. On Jul. 8, 1997, CVN 71 entered NNSY for a one-year Extended Drydock and Selected Restricted Availability (EDSRA), her first major overhaul since commissioning. In Feb. 1998, USS ROOSEVELT received her fifth Golden Anchor Award while in the shipyard. One year later, USS ROOSEVELT returned to her homeport at the Norfolk Naval Station. Capt. David R. Bryant became CVN 71`s seventh Commanding Officer on Sep. 22, 1998. THEODORE ROOSEVELT began her sixth deployment on Mar. 26, 1999 with CVW-8. They were immediately called to duty in the Ionian Sea to support NATO's Operation ALLIED FORCE. ROOSEVELT and CVW-8 aircraft conducted air strikes for two months over the skies of Kosovo against the Serbians. The carrier and CVW-8 were then dispatched to support Operation Southern Watch, enforcing the "no-fly" zone over Southern Iraq and relieving the USS KITTY HAWK. USS ROOSEVELT returned to her homeport of Norfolk, Virginia on Sept 24, 1999. On January 7, 2000 USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT entered a Planned Incremental Availability at the Norfolk Naval Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia. This six-month maintenance period ended on June 30, 2000 when the ship departed on sea trials and afterwards entered its Inter-Deployment Training Cycle. On September 19, 2001, THEODORE ROOSEVELT departed on her seventh deployment to the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf. As of early February 2002, the ROOSEVELT battle group had been operating at sea for a near-record 140 days without a port call, engaged in air operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. On 19 February 2002, TR broke the record of 152 consecutive days at sea, set by the carrier DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN 69) in 1980. On 27 February 2002, THEODORE ROOSEVELT entered port in Bahrain, where the US has maintenance and recreation facilities, after a record 160 days at sea. In March 2002, the carrier returned home to Norfolk, Va. The THEODORE ROOSEVELT entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth on May 6, 2002, for a 6-month Phased Incremental Availability. Work was completed in October 2002. From January 13 thru February 4, 2003, the carrier conducted a COMPTUEX in the Caribbean and subsequently set sail for the Mediterranean. During the deployment the carrier participated in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom and returned to Norfolk, Va., on May 29, 2003. After local operations off the east coast, the ROOSEVELT again entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a 10-month maintenance and upgrade program which lasted from February 19, 2004 thru December 15, 2004.
