U.S. Deploys Truman Carrier Strike Group To Mediterranean

The USS Harry S. Truman carrier strike group has entered the Mediterranean Sea, less than a week after the U.S. launched missile strikes on suspected chemical weapons sites in Syria.

Navy officials declined to discuss the Truman’s planned operations or when the strike group would move to the Persian Gulf. However, strike group deployments to the region in recent years have contributed a mix of patrols and strikes against terror groups and other adversaries.
