In a recent visit to the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier, Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, who portrays Maverick in the upcoming movie “Top Gun: Maverick,” met with the ship’s crew and Marines to show his appreciation for their service. During the visit, the crew demonstrated their capabilities and gave Cruise a glimpse of what life is like aboard a carrier.
The visit was not the first time Cruise has been involved with the Navy. He previously visited the USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Harry S. Truman to research for his role in “Top Gun: Maverick” and worked closely with Naval aviators to ensure authenticity in the movie’s flying scenes.
The Americans for a Strong Navy organization, which advocates for a strong U.S. Navy, salutes the crew of the USS George H.W. Bush and expresses gratitude towards Tom Cruise for supporting the Navy. The organization believes that a strong Navy is essential for maintaining global peace and stability.
The George H.W. Bush CSG is on a scheduled deployment in the NAVEUR area of operations, employed by U.S. Sixth Fleet to defend U.S., allied, and partner interests.
