Bush CVN-77, a NIMITZ-class supercarrier. RADM Brian 'Lex' Luther, USN was relieved by RADM Kenneth R. Whitesell, USN.
    Carrier Strike Group 2 is a U.S. Navy carrier strike group, tracing its history originally to 1931. The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush is the strike group's current flagship. In June 2015, other units assigned to Carrier Strike Group 2 included the nine squadrons of Carrier Air Wing Eight; the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Philippine Sea; and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Truxtun, USS Roosevelt, and USS Arleigh Burke from Destroyer Squadron 22.
