PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov. 26, 2016) Seaman Talon Smith, left, and Petty Officer 2nd Class Lucas McLean, both assigned to the Black Knights of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 154, inspect an F/A-18F Super Hornet prior to launch on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). Nimitz is currently underway conducting Tailored Ship's Training Availability and Final Evaluation Problem (TSTA/FEP), which evaluates the crew on their performance during training drills and real-world scenarios. Once Nimitz completes TSTA/FEP they will begin Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) and Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) in preparation for an upcoming 2017 deployment.
