 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pankaw. These are your headlines from around the fleet. The George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group is headed home after spending more than seven months in the U.S. Fifth Fleet area of operations. The strike group was instrumental in combat operations while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve in Syria. The George H.W. Bush Strike Group is comprised of four ships, Carrier Air Wing 8 and Destroyer Squadron 22. The grim reapers of Strike Fighter Squadron 101 brought the future of naval aviation to Naval Air Station Oceana October 28th. The squadron was disestablished in 2005 but is back and now fly in the FC-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. The new aircraft is designed to replace the F-A-18 Hornet and AV-8B Harrier. The F-35 is capable of performing ground attacks, reconnaissance and air defense.
