More than 7,000 sailors with the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group will deploy next month to the Mediterranean.

The carrier Theodore Roosevelt will leave Norfolk Naval Station Sept. 8, according to a Navy news release.
The group will be joined later by Norfolk-based guided-missile cruiser Monterey, and guided-missile destroyers Mason and Nitze, the release says.
The fast combat support ship Supply from New Jersey, guided missile destroyer The Sullivans from Florida and attack submarine Springfield from Connecticut also are part of the group, the release says.
Carrier Air Wing Eight, also part of the strike group, includes strike fighter squadrons, VFA-15, VFA-31, VFA-87, VFA-213 along with tactical electronics warfare squadron VAQ-141, carrier airborne early warning squadron VAW-124 and helicopter anti-submarine squadron HS-3, the release says.
