SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier returned to San Diego Tuesday following a six-month deployment across the Pacific.
The Nimitz-class carrier left San Diego last December for the second deployment its crew embarked upon in 2020, which took the ship about 48,000 nautical miles to the U.S. 3rd Fleet and 7th Fleet areas of operation and back. Whether it was operating in the Indo-Pacific and the South China Sea or high northern latitudes in the Gulf of Alaska, Carrier Strike Group Nine demonstrated that the U.S. Navy is ready for anything, said Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, commander of Carrier Strike Group Nine. We met the challenges that COVID-19 brought head-on and successfully deployed forward to work with our allies and partners from Australia, India, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea.

The guided-missile cruiser Bunker Hill returned to its home port of Naval Base San Diego Saturday, marking the end of its six-month deployment to the Indo-Pacific, the U.S. Navy said.
The cruiser left San Diego on Dec. 23, 2020, as part of the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group, said Cmdr. Sean Robertson of the U.S. Navy Third Fleet.
Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, commander of the Carrier Strike Group Nine, marked the return by praising sailors aboard the Bunker Hill.
“The Bunker Hill crew should feel very proud of what they’ve accomplished over the last six months,” Verissimo said Saturday. “As the air defense commander, they answered the call every step of the way, even during a challenging double-pump deployment under COVID conditions. I could not be more pleased with their performance and resilience.”
