EAST CHINA SEA (March 16, 2008) -- The guided-missile destroyer USS
John Paul Jones (DDG 53) steams into position during an Expeditionary
Strike Force (ESF) exercise. The Nimitz Carrier Strike Group (CSG)
recently participated in an ESF with the Essex (LHD 2) Expeditionary
Strike Group (ESG). The ESF exercise was designed to test the ability
of the Strike Groups to plan and conduct multi-task force operations
across a broad spectrum of naval disciplines and to refresh skills in
completing complex missions that require capabilities that are broader
in scope than the individual Strike Groups can provide alone. U.S. Navy
