Since arriving at Norfolk Naval Shipyard on July 7, 2020, the NNSY-Truman partnership effort, dubbed the “Truman Project” in industry terms, successfully completed a record-breaking quantity of maintenance work and multiple equipment testing evolutions never previously attempted during a maintenance availability.
“It’s not hard to see why Truman’s crew was recently declared the best in the Atlantic Fleet with the 2020 Battenberg Cup Award,” said Capt. Kavon Hakimzadeh, Truman’s commanding officer. “Their teamwork always shines through in overcoming challenges to the mission. I’m both honored and humbled to be part of this dedicated group!”
In total, the Truman Project completed well over 300,000 man-days of maintenance during the maintenance availability in a shorter timeline than the Planned Incremental Availabilities that aircraft carriers typically conduct at the end of three-year deployment cycles, providing a more rapid return to operational readiness.
