160828-N-WA993-175 YOKOSUKA, Japan (Aug. 28, 2016) Quartermaster 2nd Class (SW/AW/IW) Jakorre Jackson, from Miami, raises the U.S. flag from the flagstaff to the main mast aboard the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). . “When you’re underway, you don’t fly it from the flagstaff,” said Jackson. “We fly it on the main mast all day, everyday to signify that we are a U.S. ship.” Ronald Reagan provides a combat-ready force, which protects and defends the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
