The Truman was my younger son's ship when he served in the Navy as an
Aviation Electronics Tech. He made a couple of deployments to the Gulf
region during Afghanistan and Iraq flight ops.

The author of that article made a very common mistake but even the Navy
often does the same thing in official press releases.

There should be no "period" after the "S" in Harry S Truman.
"S" wasn't an abbreviation of his middle name. He had no
middle name. It was just, "S" :-)
