France is the first Ally of the United States, with ties dating back to the American Revolutionary War, and the United States is one of only a few Allies with whom the Marine Nationale has a strategic plan for enhanced cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could not be more grateful for the warm welcome by the French government and, more specifically, the city of Marseille,\u201d said Capt. Dave Snowden, commanding officer of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). \u201cThe strong partnership between our countries is built on shared values, mutual respect, and a steadfast commitment to the rules-based international order through the NATO Alliance. The established, shared naval framework between our countries \u2013 fortified through both world wars \u2013 enhances our global, high-end warfighting interoperability and gives Fleet commanders tailorable options in competition, crisis, and conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before stopping in France, the HSTCSG, including Carabiniere (F 593) and the Spanish Navy \u00c1lvaro de Baz\u00e1n-class frigate M\u00e9ndez N\u00fa\u00f1ez (F-104), transited the Strait of Gibraltar for the Mediterranean Sea Nov. 25. The strike group completed the NATO-led maritime vigilance activity Neptune Strike (NEST) 24-2 Oct. 31, underscoring the U.S. Navy\u2019s commitment to boosting combined force interoperability and enhancing integrated deterrence with NATO Allies, including Italy, France, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and the United Kingdom to deliver power for peace. NEST 24-2 was the sixth iteration of the vigilance activity established in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group is deployed in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations, supporting U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa in the defense of U.S., Allied, and partner interests. The carrier strike group includes the flagship USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75); Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, with nine embarked aviation squadrons; staffs from CSG-8, CVW-1, and Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 28; the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG 64); and two Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, USS Stout (DDG 55) and USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109).<\/p>\n<p>HSTCSG\u2019s mission is to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea and maintain a forward presence through sea control and power projection capabilities.
