The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) remains at sea in the Atlantic as a certified carrier strike group force ready for tasking in order to protect the crew from the risks posed by COVID-19, following their successful deployment to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation. Keeping HSTCSG at sea in U.S. 2nd Fleet, in the sustainment phase of OFRP, allows the ship to maintain a high level of readiness during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Sabol grew up in Brentwood, PA before moving to West Mifflin and graduating from West Mifflin Area High School in 2009. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Tamara Vaughn).
