PACIFIC OCEAN (Dec. 3, 2016) Petty Officer 2nd Class Rhuna Stephens, left, holds on to Petty Officer 3rd Class Colin Makowski, both assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) as he directs an F/A-18C Hornet, assigned to the Death Rattlers of Marine Figher Attack Squadron (VMFA) 323 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.
