Atlantic Ocean (Jun. 11, 2004) -- The guided missile destroyer USS
Mitscher (DDG 57) steams alongside the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier
USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). Truman is one of seven aircraft carriers
involved in the Summer Pulse 2004 Exercise. 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
coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's first deployment
under its new Fleet Readiness Plan (FRP). The Strike Group will conduct
a scheduled training exercise followed by overseas pulse operations.
