200429-N-PC620-0047 ATLANTIC OCEAN (April 29, 2020) The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60) fires the forward Mark 45 mod 4 5-inch gun during a live-fire exercise, April 29, 2020. Normandy remains at sea in the Atlantic as part of the certified Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, ready for tasking in order to protect the crew from the risks posed by COVID-19, following their successful deployment to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation. Keeping HSTCSG at sea in U.S. 2nd Fleet, in the sustainment phase of OFRP, allows the ship to maintain a high level of readiness during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
