ATLANTIC OCEAN (Aug. 29, 2018) Lt. Cmdr. Marco Acosta prepares to give the signal for an F/A-18F Super Hornet from the Pukin' Dogs of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 143 to launch from the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). The Abraham Lincoln and Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Groups are participating in dual-carrier sustainment and qualification operations in the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to demonstrating the Navy's inherent flexibility and scalability, this evolution provides the opportunity to conduct complex, multi-unit training to enhance maritime interoperability and combat readiness, and prepare the Navy to protect our homeland and preserve and promote peace anywhere around the world.
