USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) is the ninth nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the eighth in the Nimitz class. The keel was laid by Newport News Shipbuilding Nov. 29, 1993 and the ship, named after the 33rd President of the United States, was christened Sept. 7, 1996. The ship was launched Sept. 13, 1996 and delivered to the United States Navy June 30, 1998. Harry S. Truman was commissioned July 25, 1998. In August 1998, Harry S. Truman was put to sea for the first time as a U.S. Navy carrier to conduct flight deck certifications, an evolution designed to test the ship’s ability to successfully launch and recover aircraft. After an extensive work-up cycle that tested the ship and challenged the crew, Harry S. Truman embarked on its maiden deployment November 28, 2000. On Feb. 16, 2001, the Truman team was called into action in support of Operation Southern Watch. In response to surface-to-air missile fire against coalition forces enforcing United Nations Security Counsel Resolutions, aircraft from Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-3) took part in a sanctioned response and struck Iraqi integrated air defense system sites. The air wing flew 869 combat sorties, totaling more than 2,700 flight hours. USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) Wallpaper 4. Wallpaper gallery of USS Harry S.

After nearly 180 days and traveling more than 44,000 nautical miles, Harry S. Truman completed its first deployment May 23, 2001. Harry S. Truman entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for its first Planned Incremental Availability September 5, 2001. Six months later, Harry S. Truman began training for its second deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, which began Dec. 5, 2002. Tensions with Iraq were high as the Truman team prepared itself for the possibility of conflict. In early February 2003, Harry S. Truman took up station in the Eastern Mediterranean and waited for word to launch strikes against Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq. When the order came in the late-night hours of March 19, Operation Iraqi Freedom was in full swing. Harry S. Truman successfully launched 1,280 sorties, dropped more than 700 tons of ordnance and helped liberate the people of Iraq. Harry S. Truman was relieved of its Operation Iraqi Freedom support duties on April 18, 2003. In August 2003, Harry S. Truman entered Norfolk Naval Shipyard for its second Planned Incremental Availability. The ship pulled out of the shipyard on February 13, 2004, four days early and under budget. After leaving the shipyard, the Harry S. Truman team focused on preparing to re-enter the Global War on Terrorism. Under the Navy’s new Fleet Response Plan, Harry S. Truman surged to the Mediterranean as one of seven carriers participating in Summer Pulse ‘04, while simultaneously completing the required training exercises that will ensure the ship and air wing team are ready to act when called upon.

USS Harry S. Truman is the last Nimitz-class carrier of United States. The next carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), is in construction. First deployment of USS Truman is planned on summer 2000. History will be made Saturday, July 25th, 1998 at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia when the United States Navy commissions the Navy's newest aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). The carrier is named in honor of Harry S. Truman (1884-1972), thirty- third President of the United States. Among President Truman's notable accomplishments were ending World War II, providing economic aid and assistance to devastated postwar European countries through the Marshall Plan; promising American support of free nations against direct and indirect Communist aggression under the Truman Doctrine; and establing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Harry S. Truman is the eighth of nine Nimitz Class carriers currently authorized by Congress to be built. Aircraft carriers are deployed worldwide in support of U.S. interest and commitments. They can respond to global crisis in ways ranging from peacetime presence to full-scale war. USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) Wallpaper 3. Wallpaper gallery of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) Nimitz-class supercarrier ship 3. USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) Nimitz-class supercarrier ship photos and pictures wallpaper collection 3. The carrier has a crew of more than 160 officers and 3,200 sailors. The ship is 1,096 feet in length, has a waterline beam of 134 feet, a flight deck width of 252 feet, and displaces approximately 95,000 tons when fully loaded. Two nuclear reactors and four steam turbines engines power the ship to speeds in excess of 30 knots. The ship's armament includes four NATO Sea Sparrow missile launchers and four 20mm Phalanx Close-In Weapon Systems mounts. An airwing of approximately 2,500 personnel will support the 80 aircraft onboard. USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) will be homeported at Norfolk, Virginia. Completing a successful round of sea trials February 26, 2002, following its first shipyard six-month maintenance period, USS Harry S Truman ended the most successful shipyard availability ever held at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The three-year-old carrier left the shipyard in Portsmouth, Va. ahead of schedule and under budget. The maintenance period, known as a Planned Incremental Availability, was the first of many the three year-old carrier will see during her planned 50 years of service. The PIA was performed at a cost of $110 million and saw the installation of a ninth air conditioning plant. Another major accomplishment was the alteration to each of HST's catapults. Ships and aircraft of the USS Harry S Truman Carrier Battle Group commenced use of the Vieques Island inner range in conjunction with their Composite Unit Training Exercise in early September 2002. COMPTUEX was completed by Sept. 25th. After COMPTUEX, HST anchored off the coast of Key West, Fla., for it's off-again/on-again scheduled port visit. USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) Wallpaper 3.

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.
