PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov. 27, 2016) - A Sailor assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) directs an F/A-18C Hornet, from the Blue Diamonds of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 146, on the ship's flight deck. 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.
