051115-N-2984R-106 Norfolk, Va. (Nov. 14, 2005) – The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) undergoes a deperming evolution at the Lambert's Point Deperming Station in Norfolk, Va. While at the station, the ship is wrapped from bow to stern with large electrical cables, which are charged with a current that removes the magnetic field from the ship. Ships are routinely demagnetized to counter magnetic mines and to stop interference with communication and navigation equipment. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Ricardo J.
