The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman is slated to undergo a $5.1 billion overhaul that will ready the vessel for the second half of its service life.
The Navy’s next aircraft carrier is now approximately “99% complete,” with the sea service taking preliminary acceptance of the future USS John F. Kennedy.
The U.S. Navy will have at least 16 ships in the region, dwarfing the 11-ship fleet that was, until the Ford’s departure, positioned in the Caribbean Sea.
The destroyer USS Truxtun and the supply ship USNS Supply collided as the warship was getting a load of supplies, leaving two troops with minor injuries.
