190218-N-FB291-1030 ATLANTIC OCEAN (Feb. 18, 2019) Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Jamikia Lewis reads a poem during an African-American heritage month celebration in the aft mess decks aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Abraham Lincoln is underway conducting a composite unit training exercise (COMPTUEX) with Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 12. The components of CSG 12 embody a team-of-teams concept, combining advanced surface, air and systems assets to create and sustain operational capability. This enables them to prepare for and conduct global operations, have effective and lasting command and control, and demonstrate dedication and commitment to becoming the strongest warfighting force for the Navy and the nation.
