CSC Announces Sponsorship for the PBS Series 'CARRIER'
FALLS CHURCH, Va., April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE:CSC) today announced that the company is the corporate underwriter for the upcoming PBS series, "CARRIER." The 10-part documentary series, filmed aboard the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier U.S.S. Nimitz (CVN 68), will air on PBS from April 27 - May 1.
"CARRIER" is a six-month character-driven immersion into the high-stakes world of a nuclear aircraft carrier. The all-access series follows a core group of film participants -- from the admiral of the strike group to seasoned fighter pilots and the youngest sailors -- as they navigate personal conflicts around their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love, the rites of passage and the war on terror.
"We are pleased to support a documentary series that will deeply resonate with many of our employees and customers," said James W. Sheaffer, president of CSC's North American Public Sector business unit. "The U.S. military is an important client of CSC. Many of our employees have proudly served in the armed forces, including the U.S. Navy, and have similar connections and experiences to those who will be profiled on the 'CARRIER' series."
CSC, with approximately one third of its revenue generated from business with the federal government, is a global, multibillion-dollar corporation with a rich history of working with the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense.
