PACIFIC OCEAN (Dec. 6, 2016) - Petty Officer 3rd Class Troy Kruger, a native of Monument, Colo., records the weight of an aircraft, while a F/A-18C Hornet, from the Death Rattlers of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 323 taxies the flight deck onboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). 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.
