Norfolk Va. – Nearly two-weeks after slipping quietly out of Norfolk, the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman has left the 2nd Fleet operating area according to a Dec. 1 press release by the European-based 6th Fleet, though the ship is still operating in the Atlantic, officials say.

Now officially on deployment and heading east, it’s the Truman’s third deployment in the past four years. But officials aren’t saying if she’s making a bee-line to relieve the carrier Abraham Lincoln and the guided-missile cruiser Leyte Gulf — who have now been on deployment for over eight months.
