Norfolk, Va. (Nov. 14, 2005) -- The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS
Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) undergoes a deperming evolution at the
Lambert's Point Deperming Station in Norfolk, Va. While at the station,
the ship is wrapped from bow to stern with large electrical cables,
which are charged with a current that removes the magnetic field from
the ship. Ships are routinely demagnetized to counter magnetic mines
and to stop interference with communication and navigation equipment.
