PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov. 29, 2016) Petty Officer 3rd Class Kevin White, of St. Augustine, Fla., assigned to the Blue Diamonds of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 146, performs maintenance on an F/A-18E Super Hornet in the hangar bay of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). Nimitz is currently underway conducting Tailored Ship's Training Availability and Final Evaluation Problem (TSTA/FEP), which evaluates the crew on their performance during training drills and real-world scenarios. Once Nimitz completes TSTA/FEP they will begin Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) and Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) in preparation for an upcoming 2017 deployment.
