The USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier is making its way back to Norfolk, Virginia, following a challenging deployment marked by combat operations against the Houthis and various mishaps. Recently, it left the Red Sea and is now in the Mediterranean Sea, participating in maritime exercises. During its deployment, the carrier lost three F/A-18 Super Hornet jets and experienced incidents such as friendly fire and a collision with a commercial vessel, leading to repairs and changes in leadership.
"The Truman entered the Middle East in December and experienced a string of unfortunate mishaps over the following months, including the loss of three F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets."
"In mid-February, the Truman collided with a large commercial vessel in the Mediterranean, near Egypt's Port Said. The carrier was damaged and had to sail to a US naval base for repairs."
