On a bright May morning, 5,000 sailors and Marines bid farewell to their loved ones as the USS Nimitz departs for a six-month deployment to the Arabian Gulf. The stage is set for CARRIER, which follows a core group of participants aboard the USS Nimitz, from the elite fighter pilots to the youngest sailors and everyone in between, as they navigate personal conflicts around their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love and the war on terror. CARRIER premieres Sunday-Thursday, April 27-May 1, 2008, 9:00-11:00 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings).
