Operations SPECIALIST Third Class Andrea Ramirez stands watch on the signal bridge of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) during an underway replenishment with US Naval Ships (USNS) Concord (T-AFS 5) and USNS Pecos (T-AO 197). Signal bridge watches during sunrise are breath taking as the sun gives birth to a new day in the Arabian sky; non the less, watchstanders play a crucial role in keeping the ship away from other ships that may be less detectable by radar compared to the human eye. TRUMAN is on station in the Arabian Gulf in support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH.

Aircraft carriers are warships that act as airbases for carrier-based aircraft. In the United States Navy, these consist of ships commissioned with hull classification symbols CV (aircraft carrier), CVA (attack aircraft carrier), CVB (large aircraft carrier), CVL (light aircraft carrier), CVN (aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion) and CVAN (attack aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion). The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy was USS Langley (CV-1) on 20 March 1922.
