Goodbye to Sailors being deployed on USS Harry S. Truman (Aircraft Carrier 75)
I happened to be at Ft Monroe as the USS Harry S. Truman passed by. I found the spectators saying goodbye to loved ones as interesting as the ship itself.
NORFOLK, Va. — For the 6,000 sailors of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group who shipped out Wednesday from Naval Station Norfolk, the timing of their most recent deployment wasn't ideal: 24 days before Christmas.
Duty calls, but the goodbyes are never easy.
The Navy is being vague about where the Truman group is going, what they'll be doing and how long they'll be gone.
