Location: Portsmouth, England - USS Harry S Truman

Date: 10 May, 2003

A visit by a US Navy carrier to British waters is an all too rare event. Harry S Truman is one of the US fleet's newest vessels and we took the opportunity to run down to Portsmouth to catch her at rest before she departed for home.
