CVN-75 is named after Harry S. Truman (1884-1972), 33rd President of the United States of America (1945-1953).

Among President Truman's accomplishments were ending World War II; providing economic aid and assistance to devastated postwar European countries through the Marshall Plan; promising American support of free nations against direct and indirect Communist aggression under the Truman Doctrine; and establishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Note: Several people have pointed out that President Truman did not have a middle initial; therefore the "S" in "Harry S Truman" should not have a period following. Please refer to "Use of the Period After the 'S' in Harry S. Truman's name" for an explanation of this controversy. David McCullough, in his biography "Truman," and the President's own daughter, Margaret Truman, in her biography "Harry S. Truman," both use a period after the "S."

As for the ship's name it does have, correctly or not, a period following the "S."

In early August 2002 USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) was transformed into center stage for the upcoming movie, Tears of the Sun. Released in 2003, Tears of the Sun was directed by Antoine Fuqua, with Bruce Willis, Monica Bellucci, Cole Hauser and Tom Skerritt starring.

Harry S. Truman portrayed a carrier forward-deployed in the Atlantic after a military coup overthrows the government of Nigeria. In fact, the two-day production wrapped up just before HST returned to Norfolk following a carrier qualification period. The ship had been operating off the coast of Florida, assisting new pilots in earning their carrier landing qualifications.
