deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75)
during night flight operations. 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 theatres with other U.S., allied, and

a scheduled training exercise followed by overseas pulse operations.
