PHILIPPINE SEA (Aug. 24, 2023) Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Aircraft Handling) Ben Meisner, from Gainesville, Florida, observes as an F/A-18E Super Hornet, attached to the Eagles of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 115, prepares to 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, Aug. 24, 2023. The Eagles conduct carrier-based air strikes and strike force escort missions, as well as ship, battle group, and intelligence collection operations. 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.
