North Atlantic Ocean (July 12, 2004) -- USS La Salle (AGF 3), the Dutch
frigate HNLMS Jacob Van Heemskerck (F 812), and submarine tender USS
Emory S. Land (AS 39) steam together through the Atlantic Ocean while
participating in Majestic Eagle 2004. Majestic Eagle is a multinational

Morocco, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey. Truman's
participation in Majestic Eagle is part of her scheduled deployment
supporting the Navy's new fleet response plan (FRP) Summer Pulse 2004,
the simultaneous deployment of seven carrier strike groups (CSGs),
demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat across
the globe, in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and coalition
military forces. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Josh
