John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group (JCSCSG) was a carrier battle group that operated under the direction of Carrier Group Seven (CarGru 7). This carrier battle group participated in Operation Southern Watch, Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Anaconda, and Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan (OEF-A). Beginning in 2004, the John Stennis carrier strike group was re-designated as Carrier Strike Group Seven, one of six U.S. Navy carrier strike groups currently assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

Overview[edit]

The John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group (JCSCSG) was employed in a variety of roles, all of which involve gaining and maintaining sea control. The core capabilities of a CSG include:

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) and Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-11) are under the administrative authority of Commander, Naval Air Force Pacific. The guided missile cruisers USS Lake Champlain (CG-57) and USS Port Royal (CG-73), as well as and Destroyer Squadron Twenty-one (DESRON-21), are under the administrative authority of Commander, Naval Surface Forces Pacific. CSG-3's training and certification is under the authority of the U.S. Third Fleet. When deployed overseas, JCSCSG came under the command authority of the U.S. Seventh Fleet operating in the Western Pacific (WESTPAC) and the U.S. Fifth Fleet in the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf, with Commander Carrier Group Seven (ComCarGru 7) serving as the immediate flag officer in command of the group.

Operation Enduring Freedom (20 February 2002)

On 09 March 2002, crewmembers of an F-14 Tomcat fighter interceptor were recovered safely following a mishap while attempting to land aboard USS John C. Stennis operating in the North Arabian Sea. The Fighter Squadron 211 aircraft was returning from a combat mission over Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom when it crashed into the sea after an unsuccessful landing attempt aboard the carrier. The pilot and Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) were recovered from the water using the ship's SAR helicopter. Neither were seriously injuried.[53]

CVW-9 aircraft flew 10,600 combat sorties, logged 54,390 flight hours, dropped 275,000 pounds of ordnance, and used over 23,115,895 gallons of jet fuel during this deployment. The flight deck crew safely recovered 9,600 arrested landings. Stennis was the first carrier to launch strikes into Afghanistan and conducted flight operations for 111 days supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. The carrier strike group sustained 100 days of continuous operations with only 4 days liberty in Bahrain, allowing the ship to anchor only once, for a total of 107 days of combat operations.[44][54]

The carrier USS John C. Stennis was also the platform for the first coalition E-2 Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound aircraft cross-deck landings on board the French nuclear-powered aircraft carriers Charles De Gaulle, as well as French Navy E-2 landings on board the Stennis.[44][55]

2002–2003 Operations: CVN-74 PIA 02/03 & COMPTUEX[edit]

From June 2002 to January 2003, the Stennis underwent a seven-month Planned Incremental Availability (PIA).[44] On 15 November 2003, Rear Admiral Matt Moffit turned over command of Carrier Group Seven (CCG-7) to Rear Admiral Patrick M. Walsh during a change of command ceremony onboard the John C. Stennis.[56]

On 21 November 2003, the Stennis Carrier Strike Group completed a 26-day Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX).[57]

2004 Operations[edit]

Northern Edge 2004
JASEX 2004
RIMPAC 2004

During March 2004, the carrier strike group began a six-week Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) in preparation for its upcoming overseas deployment.[58][59]

Summer Pulse ’04[edit]

Summer Pulse '04 (SP04) was the U.S. Navy's first full scale exercise of its new operational construct, the Fleet Response Plan (FRP). The exercise included scheduled deployments, surge operations, joint and international exercises such as Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2004, other advanced training, and several port visits.[60][61][62]

The FRP is designed to allow the Navy to provide up to seven carrier strike groups (CSG) to support any contingency worldwide in 30 days. Per the plan, two more CSGs can be ready within three months to reinforce or rotate out the forces that initially deployed. This allows for a continuous presence and the ability to swiftly respond to different crisis situations. FRP also is about new ways of operating, training, manning and maintaining the fleet resulting in increased force readiness and the ability to provide significant combat power in a crisis situation as well as reinforce our relationships and interoperability in five theaters of operations.[60][61][62] Summer Pulse '04 involved the surging of seven carrier strike groups led by the following aircraft carriers:

2004 WESTPAC Deployment[edit]

n 24 May 2004, the Stennis Carrier Strike Group departed Naval Station San Diego for its 2004 WESTPAC deployment to participate in Operation Northern Edge in the Gulf of Alaska. The carrier strike group included the carrier Stennis, Carrier Air Wing Fourteen (CVW-14), the guided missile cruiser Lake Champlain, the guided missile destroyer Howard, and the nuclear attack submarine Salt Lake City.[63] Carrier Air Wing Fourteen (CVW-14) squadrons embarked onboard the Stennis included:[64]

The John C. Stennis carrier strike group paid a four-day port visit to Sasebo, Japan, departing on 25 August 2004, and subsequently paid a port visit to Port Klang, Malaysia September 1–5, 2004.[66][67] The carrier strike group also paid a port visit to Freemantle, Australia, on 28 September 2004, and returned to San Diego on 1 November 2004 after participating Northern Edge 2004, RIMPAC 2004, and JASEX 2004 before the upcoming homeport change of flagship John C. Stennis to Bremerton, Washington, in 2005.[59][68]

Northern Edge 2004[edit]

Northern Edge is an annual joint training exercise designed to enhance interoperability among the various branches of the U.S. armed services by sharpening and honing joint service techniques and procedures. While traditionally held in the cold weather months, for 2004, Northern Edge was moved to June to accommodate the worldwide scheduling of combat forces and availability of the carrier strike group.[69] Held from June 7 through June 16, 2004, Northern Edge training focused on air-centric tactics and procedures with an emphasis on air-to-air, air-to-ground, and on personnel recovery operations in remote areas of the Pacific Alaska Range Complex (PARC) near Fairbanks, Alaska, and over water in the Gulf. Though most flight operations went according to plan, naval aviators frequently operated in low visibility conditions with thick cloud ceilings over the Gulf. Along with aircraft from the Stennis Strike Group, several other fighter units participated, including the Pacific Air Forces, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing from Okinawa, Japan, and other air wings from around the world.[69] The carrier Stennis paid a port visit to Esquimalt, British Columbia June 18–21, 2004, and carried bi-lateral exercises with the Canadian Navy June 22–29, 2004.[70] Carrier Strike Group Three also paid a port visit to Pearl Harbor June 22–26, 2004, prior to RIMPAC 2004.[67]

RIMPAC 2004[edit]

Part of Summer Pulse '04 included the Stennis Carrier Strike Group participating in the biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, a two-week-long multinational series of naval war games involving 40 ships, seven submarines, 100 aircraft, and nearly 18,000 military personnel from seven nations. RIMPAC 2004 focused on multinational training while building trust and cooperation among the participating naval partners. The carrier John. C Stennis was the flagship for the Multinational Task Force Commander, Rear Admiral Patrick Walsh, Commander Carrier Group 3, the commander of the Stennis Carrier Strike Group.[71]

JASEX 2004[edit]

The John C. Stennis and Kitty Hawk carrier strike groups participated in Joint Air and Sea Exercise 2004 (JASEX 04). This second annual joint exercise involved air and sea training events focused on integrating joint training, and improving interoperability and teamwork between the two carrier strike groups, as well as with land-based Air Force and Marine Corps units forward deployed to in the Western Pacific. Typhoon Rananim complicated the exercise, causing the two carrier strike groups to re-deploy 600 nautical miles (1,100 km) east to the Iwo Jima operating area. JASEX 02 ended on 15 August 2004.[72]

CSG Redesignation[edit]

Effective 1 October 2004, in keeping with the CNO's Guidance from Admiral Vernon E. Clark, Carrier Group Seven (CarGru 7) and its John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group were re-designated as Carrier Strike Group Seven (CARSTRKGRU 7).[73]
