 The East Coast-based PC3 Orion aircraft are wrapping up nearly 50 years of service, first delivered to the fleet in 1966. The aircraft is scheduled to be replaced with the new multi-mission aircraft P-8A Poseidon in approximately one year. Guided missile destroyer USS Mitzer recently returned home to Naval Station Norfolk after a seven-month deployment to the U.S. Fifth Fleet area of responsibility. During the deployment, Mitzer took advantage of the opportunity to work as an integrated part of a French Navy carrier strike group, strengthening international relations. USS Carl Vinson and Embark carrier Air Wing 17 reached a significant milestone, launching the 10,000th aircraft of their current deployment. And finally, the Kiersage Amphibious Ready Group recently completed integrated training off the northeast coast of the U.S. 1,800 sailors and 1,400 Marines participated in this event, increasing the cooperation between the two services.
