The aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman and its strike group deployed from Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, on Monday, beginning what the Navy called a regularly scheduled deployment to the European theater.
While the Navy says Truman’s deployment will be to Europe, it remains to be seen whether events in the Middle East will conform with those plans.
