200515-N-ZE328-1032 ATLANTIC OCEAN (May 15, 2020) Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class Charles Block, left, from Kansas City, Missouri, and Boatswain's Mate Seaman Daniel Bazan, from Brownsville, Texas, connect a messenger line to the king post cheater line in the hangar bay USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) during a replenishment-at-sea in the Atlantic Ocean May 15, 2020. The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) 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 COVID-19, 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.
