USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 completed cyclic flight operations for the first time since each command completed their last deployments, Feb 20. They are at sea to train and complete Tailored Ship’s Training Availability/Final Evaluation Problem (TSTA/FEP).
It was the first time George H.W. Bush and CVW-7 conducted cyclic flight ops together as Team Jackpot.
“What a great day for Team Jackpot,” said Capt. Robert Aguilar, George H.W. Bush commanding officer. “Today we displayed the full spectrum of warfighting capabilities of our combined team.”
When at sea together, Team Jackpot will maintain a focus on developing a high performing team that integrates to deliver combat power to Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 10 and the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group.
Additionally, George H.W. Bush will continue to support east coast carrier qualifications during underway periods while CVW-7 is training elsewhere.
“The George H.W. Bush team has been extremely welcoming as we integrate into a single lethal warfighting weapons system,” said Capt. Thomas Bodine, commander, CVW-7. “Iron sharpens iron and training with the Bush and CSG-10 teams ensures that our collective swords will be able to meet and defeat any challenger.”
George H.W. Bush provides the national command authority flexible, tailorable warfighting capability as the flagship of a carrier strike group that maintains maritime stability and security in order to ensure access, deter aggression and defend U.S., allied, and partner interests.
CVW-7 is the offensive air and strike component of Carrier Strike Group TEN (CSG-10) and the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group. The squadrons of CVW-7 are Strike Fighter Squadron 143 “Pukin’ Dogs,” Strike Fighter Squadron 103 “Jolly Rogers,” Strike Fighter Squadron 86 “Sidewinders,” Strike Fighter Squadron 136 “Knighthawks,” Electronic Attack Squadron 140 “Patriots,” Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 121 “Bluetails,” Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron “Nightdippers,” and Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 46 “Grandmasters.”
