    USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76)   

    180917-N-OY799-0114 PHILIPPINE SEA (Sept. 17, 2018) The Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville (CG 62) and USNS 2nd Lt. John P. Bobo (T-AK 3008) steam alongside the Navy’s forward deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) during a photo exercise for Valiant Shield 2018. The biennial, U.S. only, field-training exercise focuses on integration of joint training among the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. This is the seventh exercise in the Valiant Shield series that began in 2006. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kenneth Abbate)
