EAST CHINA SEA (March 16, 2008) -- The amphibious assault ship USS
Essex (LHD 2) 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 photo by
