NORFOLK, Va. — The Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group will deploy this week with about 6,000 sailors.

The Navy said Wednesday the group will support maritime security operations and operate around the world.

The guided missile destroyer Bainbridge is scheduled to leave Norfolk on Friday. The Eisenhower and most of the strike group’s other Norfolk-based ships are scheduled to leave Saturday.

Deployment of the guided missile destroyer Stout will be later.
