Second Fleet Flexes Expeditionary Mode in North Atlantic
Just 13 months after reactivation, the U.S. 2nd Fleet now has “full operational capability” though its commander stopped short of saying his command is fully up to speed, yet. The fledgling fleet declared its initial operating capability in May, just before jetting off to the Baltic Sea to honcho a large exercise there. And they’ve wasted no time since as they were heavily involved in July with preparing and evaluating the Truman Carrier Strike Group’s final exercises — the first such deployment under their watch.
