Despite finishing deployment, the USS Harry S. Truman carrier group will remain at sea in the western Atlantic, safe from the reaches of COVID-19 and ready for action, the Navy announced.
“The ship is entering a period in which it needs to be ready to respond and deploy at any time,” Vice Adm. Andrew Lewis, commander U.S. 2nd Fleet said in a statement. “Normally we can do that pierside, but in the face of COVID-19, we need to protect our most valuable asset, our people, by keeping the ship out to sea.”
