⚓📰 #USNAVY UPDATE: Sailors and Marines from across the globe participated in the U.S. Navy- and U.S. Marine Corps-led Large Scale Exercise (LSE) 2025, July 30-Aug. 8.

LSE 2025 marks the most comprehensive demonstration of global maritime coordination to date, testing the services’ ability to command and control forces across the full spectrum of conflict in a contested, high-end fight.

“At its core, LSE 2025 is about readiness. It allows us to refine how we command and control forces on a global scale, how we align efforts with interagency teammates, allies and partners, and how we generate and sustain combat power under pressure,” said Vice Adm. John Gumbleton, acting commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command. “One of our top priorities is validating the Global Maritime Response Plan, proving we can shift from steady-state operations to a full warfighting posture at speed, whenever and wherever we’re needed.”

⚓📰#USNAVY UPDATE: USS Harry S. Truman Conducts Ammunition Offload at Sea Following Historic Deployment

Two months after returning from an eight-month deployment to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) demonstrated its sustained readiness with a five-day ammunition offload while underway in the Atlantic Ocean.

The evolution showcased Truman’s operational proficiency and the Navy’s greatest competitive advantage—its people. Sailors from Truman’s Weapons, Air, and Deck Departments, among others, worked alongside the “Dragonslayers” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 11 to transfer 1,307 tons of conventional munitions to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) and the Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship USNS Robert E. Peary (T-AKE 5) during vertical and connected replenishment operations Aug. 3-8.
