abstract
| - Carrier Strike Group Three (CSG-3 or CARSTRKGRU 3) is one of five U.S. Navy carrier strike groups currently assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Carrier strike groups gain and maintain sea control as well as project naval airpower ashore. The aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) is the strike group's current flagship, and as of 2012, other units assigned to Carrier Strike Group Three include Carrier Air Wing Nine; the guided-missile cruisers USS Mobile Bay (CG-53) and USS Antietam (CG-54); and the ships of Destroyer Squadron 21, the guided-missile destroyers USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG-108), USS Dewey (DDG-105), USS Kidd (DDG-100), and USS Milius (DDG-69). The group traces its history to the establishment of Carrier Division 3 in 1940 or earlier. In 1941 the division took part in the Neutrality Patrol in the Atlantic. The division later operated off Korea and Vietnam. It took part in many exercises during the Cold War and during the initial months of Operation Desert Shield in 1990 served as the U.S. Navy's representative in the Riyadh headquarters of U.S. Central Command. Carrier Group Three formed the core of the naval power during the initial phase of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001. On 18 December 2011, aircraft from Carrier Strike Group Three flew the final carrier-based air mission over Iraq, effectively ending U.S. naval support for Operation New Dawn.
