The Hill: USS Harry S. Truman launches first missions against ISIS
The USS Harry S. Truman launched its first missions against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on Tuesday, according to the U.S. Navy.
"Warfighting is the priority; that's why we are here," Navy Rear Adm. Bret Batchelder, commander of Carrier Strike Group 8, said in a statement.
The Truman recently arrived in the Persian Gulf to begin striking ISIS in Iraq and Syria, ending a several-month U.S. carrier gap in the region after the USS Theodore Roosevelt left in October.
The French carrier Charles De Gaulle arrived in the Gulf in November, however, and began striking ISIS targets.
