U.S. Marines flying an MV-22B Osprey and UH-1Y Venom attached to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 165 (Reinforced), 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and a Royal Navy 845 Squadron Merlin MK IV conduct carrier deck landings on HMS Queen Elizabeth in the Arabian Sea on November 8, 2021. Simultaneously, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 cross-decked F-35B Lightning II’s to the USS Essex (LHD 2). The evolution demonstrated increased interoperability, information sharing, and expanded access across the region as allies, as well as credible and capable forces operating in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.
