(Worthy News) – The USS Nimitz is finally heading home after almost 10 months on deployment, with the aircraft carrier spending its final 10 days supporting military operations in the Horn of Africa.
The Nimitz Carrier Strike Group has been providing close air support to Joint Task Force-Quartz and Operation Octave Quartz since Dec. 21, 2020. The task force is responsible for repositioning U.S. forces within East Africa while continuing to maintain pressure on violent extremists in the region, officials said.
Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller directed the Nimitz to head straight to its homeport at Naval Base Kitsap in the Pacific Northwest. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
