    Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 211, "The Wake Island Avengers" supervise flight deck operations as an F-35B Lightning II lands onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth. VMFA-211 joined the UK’s 617 Squadron “The Dambusters” onboard the 65,000 ton carrier as she sailed for exercises with NATO allies in the North Sea. This month’s overarching UK-led Group Exercise will see VMFA-211, 617 Squadron and HMS Queen Elizabeth joined by six Royal Navy destroyers, frigates and auxiliaries, ready to fight in any clime or place. “The Wake Island Avengers” are proud to represent the United States Marine Corps and United States of America while they serve as part of the UK’s Carrier Strike Group.
