Big E on her last deployment. As I mentioned previously, it seems impossible that we are set to retire a nuke boat. I’m not so sure that’s a reflection on the age of the USS Enterprise or on your scribe. I like to think the clock isn’t moving that fast but there are other signs contradicting that notion.

The strike group is deployed to support maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility.
