 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. These are your headlines from around the fleet. The George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group returned to its home ports November 15th. The strike group completed a nine-month deployment in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operations. During the deployment, sailors worked with Joint Coalition and Allied Forces in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Inherent Resolve. History was made aboard USS Nimitz November 13th. The F-35C Lightning II carrier variant Joint Strike Fighter completed its first carrier-based night flight operations off the coast of San Diego. The night flight was part of development testing for the aircraft. Two test F-35C aircraft have completed 28 flights for combined 34.5 flight hours. The F-35C's successful night flight represents a step forward in the development of the Navy's next-generation fighter.
