ATLANTIC OCEAN (Jan. 27, 2019) The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Gonzales (DDG 94) (left), USS Nitze (DDG 94), and USS Bainbridge (DDG 96) transit ahead of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) during flight operations. Abraham Lincoln is underway conducting composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX) with Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 12. The components of CSG-12 embody a "team-of-teams" concept, combining advanced surface, air and systems assets to create and sustain operational capability.
