Seaman Levi Littlejohn, from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, assigned to the “Dambusters” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 195, performs release-and-control stations checks in the cockpit of an F/A-18E Super Hornet on the flight deck of the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Super Hornet release-and-control stations in the cockpit are used to fire ordnance. Ronald Reagan is participating in Exercise Keen Sword 17 (KS17), a biennial, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed, U.S. Pacific Command-sponsored field-training exercise. KS17 is designed to meet mutual defense objectives by increasing combat readiness and interoperability between U.S. forces and the Japan Self Defense Force. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group Five (CSG 5), is on patrol in the Philippine Sea supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
