USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (IKE) @TheCVN69
What better way to close out the Olympics than remembering the pit stop with our French Allies?

Over the course of our 8-month deployment, we resupplied countless times. This time, however, we integrated with our French Allies. Merci Monsieur!  #MightIKE #GreaterEachDay
