The Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) will present USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) with the Secretary of the Navy Environment Quality Award for fiscal year 2005 May 3. The CNO Environment Award and SECNAV award are presented to ships Navywide annually that exemplify environmental stewardship. “Truman was chosen along with USS George Washington and USS John C. Stennis for the Chief of Naval Operations Environmental Quality Award,” said Lt. Mike Overton, Truman’s afloat environmental protection coordinator. “Basically the award is for how the ship puts forth effort to maintain environmental quality (when it comes to) the correct storage, disposal and handling of HAZMAT,” said Overton. The CNO Environmental Readiness Director, Rear Adm. James A. Symonds, congratulated the winners of the award.
