USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76)   

221202-N-BR419-1123 PHILIPPINE SEA (Dec. 2, 2022) Sailors prepare an EA-18G Growler, attached to the Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 141, for launch on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), in the Philippine Sea, Dec. 2. The primary role of EA-18G Growlers is to disrupt the ability to communicate between units in combat through the use of electronic warfare. 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.
