Herrera aboard aircraft carrier


Navy Seaman Eloy M. Herrera, son of Eloy D. and Mary A.
Herrera, of Pecos, recently departed on a six-month
deployment to the Mediterranean Sea and Arabian Gulf aboard
the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis.

Herrera is one of more than 5,000 Sailors and Marines aboard
the ship, which departed its home port of Norfolk, Va., to
lead the USS John C. Stennis Battle Group. The battle group
is comprised of eight tactical aircraft squadrons, eight
surface combatants and two submarines, and is replacing the
USS George Washington Battle Group, which has been deployed
since October.

Herrera and fellow crew membrs prepared for the deployment
by participating in an Atlantic Joint Task Force Exercise.
The exercise respond to situations they may encounter during
their six-month deployment.

Carriers, like USS John C. Stennis, are forward deployed
around the world to maintain a U.S. presence and provide
rapid response in times of crisis. They serve as a highly
visible deterrent to would-be aggressors and, if deterrence
fails, offer the most versatile and powerful weapons
available.

The USS John C. Stennis Battle Group can travel more than
500 miles a day while simultaneously deploying to separate
geographic regions. With Tomahawk cruise missiles, tactical
aircraft and combat-ready Marines, the forces provide
unified commanders with an unparalleled range of flexible
options and capabilities.

The 1993 graduate of Pecos High School joined the Navy in
May 1997.
