The video of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman deploying to the Middle East has emerged on YouTube.
The footage specifically showed relatives of the carrier's crewmembers waving goodbye to them as the vehicle prepares to set sail for a new mission.
Earlier, the US Navy announced that the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, currently stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, will be deployed to the Middle East.
Apart from the Harry S. Truman, the strike group includes the guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy as well as the destroyers USS Arleigh Burke, USS Bulkeley, USS Forrest Sherman and USS Farragut.
