USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71

Mission USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) is a key element of our country's forward-deployed defense strategy. Tasked with maintaining open sea lanes of trade and communications, TR is capable of projecting air superiority to all points of the globe. The embarked Carrier Air Wing Eight aircraft serve as outstanding instruments of peace. Anytime and anywhere TR reports for duty, she brings 4.5 acres of sovreign U.S. territory and 97,000 tons of diplomacy. TR's equipment and crew are always maintained at the highest state of readiness. This enables the ship to carry out a wide variety of missions, including: air warfare, strike warfare, surface warfare, undersea warfare and electronic warfare. TR also shares the task of replenishing ships at sea and performing a variety of non-combat missions, such as the rescue at sea of people in distress and the transport of refugees and others in need of help. People make TR more than a mere mass of steel, cables and pipes. She is a floating city of 5,500 professional men and women from every state in the Union. It is the veteran Sailor with gold on his dress blues and the young 17-year old, away from home for the first time, who provide TR with heart and soul. Leadership, training and professionalism blend each of these individual personalities toward one goal ... being ready to exercise the power of TR in support of the "Forward Presence" mission of the U.S. Navy.

Comment by Michael Fusco on May 6, 2012 at 4:35pm: I inadvertantly sent this as a message to Paul. Paul I apologize, I didn't mean to get you in the middle of this.

My son has served aboard the Roosevelt for almost two years. Recently, due to the inaction of some command rank officers, my son's life has been put in imminent danger. THIS COULD EASILY HAPPEN TO YOUR SAILOR. I WANT YOU ALL TO KLNOW WHAT HAPPENED, AND MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT. MY PHONE NUMBER IS 605-941-0442. This is not sour grapes or any crap. This is real and it needs to be known. I am a Navy veteran and am ashamed of what is happening....please become aware.

Comment by NavyDads Admin (Paul) on January 14, 2012 at 6:10pm: Welcome A. L., since the "Big Stick" has been in RCOH we haven't had much activity, and in all honesty, with my son no longer on the ship I'm outta touch with what is going on on the carrier. Hopefully you'll be able to keep us informed as to what everyone is up to!!!

Comment by NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim on August 23, 2011 at 1:29pm: Thanks Paul. I thought I remembered there was an issue with that, but didn't know the details. Now Cora just told me on Facebook that she sent Brooklyn a flash drive, but Brooklyn has her own laptop. I didn't know that they could take their own laptops on board. I think I will tell this other dad to play it safe, send the DVD.

Comment by NavyDads Admin (Paul) on August 23, 2011 at 12:36pm: No Flash Drives! That was a HUGE security issue awhile back....send DVD

Comment by NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim on August 23, 2011 at 12:01pm: Hey guys. Got a dad asking about sending his son at sea a flash drive with a video from home on it. What, if any, is the Navy's take on sending a flash drive out to a ship in a care package? Don't the sailors on a ship at sea use ships computers and not their own?

Comment by Michael Fusco on July 30, 2011 at 11:26am: My son serves aboard the Stick. He just finished a TAD crusie aboard Enterprise, which was my ship in the 70's, so you can imagine how excited I was to do the Tigre cruise with him. An amazing experience after 40 years, but also a little unsetteling. Very different navy today!
