From USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Public Affairs

ATLANTIC OCEAN – USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) completed Tailored Ship’s Training Availability (TSTA) and Final Evaluation Problem (FEP), March 1, 2022.

The ship concluded TSTA/FEP in cooperation with Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 10 and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7.

“This assessment showed that our team of teams can continuously train and develop the skills we need them to have as tactically-minded watchstanders,” said Capt. Robert Aguilar, commanding officer of USS George H.W. Bush. “We are a prepared, resilient team that will deter, and if necessary, defeat our nation’s adversaries.”

TSTA/FEP is an in-port and underway evolution designed to evaluate unit level proficiency and develop a ship’s ability to self-train.

TSTA/FEP assesses the ship on its warfighting and damage control proficiencies by evaluating events such as General Quarters, medical emergency responses, replenishments at sea, and everyday watch standing.

“The entire crew of the USS George H.W. Bush has welcomed us with open arms and it resulted in rapid integration between our two teams,” said Capt. Thomas Bodine, commander, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7. “The foundation of teamwork and comradery that was built during TSTA/FEP will pay dividends as we integrate with the rest of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 10 to form a lethal combat weapons system.”

GHWB, CSG-10, and CVW-7 will join Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 26 and USS Leyte Gulf (CG-55) to begin the advanced/integrated phase of the Optimized Fleet Response Plan where they will sail together as the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group
