Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Dylon Lamalie, from Fostoria, vacuums paint chips aboard the Nimitz-class
aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) in the Atlantic Ocean May 26. The Harry S. Truman Carrier
Strike Group remains at sea in the Atlantic as a certified carrier strike group force ready for tasking
in order to protect the crew from the risks posed by coronavirus, following their successful deployment
to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation. Keeping HSTCSG at sea in U.S. 2nd Fleet, in the
sustainment phase of OFRP, allows the ship to maintain a high level of readiness during the global
COVID-19 pandemic.
