NORFOLK, Virginia — Thousands of sailors from the USS Harry S. Truman touched dry land Tuesday for the first time in seven months.
The ship is now back at the naval station in Norfolk, Virginia.
The Truman was supposed to return from the middle east in April, but it remained at sea to protect the crew from coronavirus.
Capt. Kavon Hakimzadeh said delaying the ships return was the right call.
“The ship was and remains COVID free,” Hakimzadeh said.
