USS Stennis Headed for Pacific, Pearl Harbor USS Stennis Headed for Pacific, Pearl Harbor The USS John C. Stennis left Naval Base Kitsap on Tuesday to direct routine preparing in the wake of finishing a support period at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. While in the Pacific, the plane carrying warship and its team will take part in the Dec. 7 remembrance of the 75th commemoration of the besieging of Pearl Harbor, said representative Lt. Cmdr. Fred Martin. The occasion, which has started and will proceed through Dec. 11, is entitled "Regarding the Past, Inspiring the Future." It will incorporate recognition occasions, shows and exhibitions by military and non military personnel bunches, themed films on the shoreline, occasions for World War II and Pearl Harbor survivors and veterans, instructive open doors and the Honolulu Marathon. To begin with, the Stennis will direct adrift preparing, including harm control and firefighting drills, flight operations, seamanship advancements and building preparing. Amid the as of late finished upkeep period, which started after the ship returned from another preparation voyage on Oct. 6, the team, shipyard laborers and temporary workers connected a nonskid surface to the flight deck, repaired and supplanted hermetically sealed and watertight entryways, and surveyed every one of the four airplane lifts. It was the second support time frame since the Stennis returned Aug. 14 from a seven-month sending to Asia and the Pacific. It was intended to settle anything that should have been altered before the ship came back to ocean and to get a head begin on a bigger up and coming upkeep period called an arranged incremental accessibility, said Lt. Cmdr. Brent Miller. The Stennis will join its sister transport and berthmate, the USS Nimitz, adrift. The Nimitz left Nov. 15 to proceed with work-ups in readiness for an arrangement ahead of schedule one year from now.
