Atlantic Ocean (Jun. 15, 2004) -- An F-14B Tomcat assigned to the "Swordsman" of Fighter Squadron Three Two (VF-32) launches from one of four steam-powered catapults on the flight deck of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). Truman is one of seven aircraft carriers involved in Summer Pulse 2004. Summer Pulse 2004 is the simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike groups (CSGs), demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat power across the globe, in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's first deployment under its new Fleet Readiness Plan (FRP). The Strike Group is conducting a scheduled training exercise followed by overseas pulse operations.
