    Military personnel from what appears to be a joint US-Japanese naval operation are gathered around equipment consoles in a dimly lit combat information center or operations room. At least one person is wearing a cap labeled 'JS KONGO DDG 173', identifying the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer Kongo. Personnel are wearing face masks, suggesting this was taken during COVID-19 precautionary protocols.

    PHILIPPINE SEA (Sept. 20, 2022) Lt. Mark Owen, from Grand Rapids, Michigan, assigned to Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, and liaison officers from Commander, Escort Division (CCD) 1, Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF), discuss surface-force maritime tactics in the sea combat watch floor aboard the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) in the Philippine Sea, Sept. 20. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, and supports alliances, partnerships and collective maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
