Carrier CVN-75 Harry S
The US nuclear aircraft carrier CVN-75 Harry S. Truman has arrived at Souda Bay on the island of Crete, located in Greece. This is an important strategic visit, given the role of Crete as one of the key points for US naval operations in the Mediterranean. Harry S. Truman is one of the most powerful aircraft carriers in the US Navy, equipped with nuclear reactors, which allows it to remain at sea for long periods without the need for refueling. Souda Bay, in turn, is an important base for NATO naval forces, providing support for various operations in the region. This event also highlights the importance of alliances and joint efforts of NATO countries to ensure security in the Eastern Mediterranean.
