240522-N-VY281-1015 NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN (May 22, 2024) Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class (Aircraft Handling) Isaiah Pabonruiz, from Puerto Rico, uses an aircraft towing tractor to transport an F/A-18E Super Hornet, attached to the Dambusters of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 195, in the hangar bay aboard the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), in the North Pacific Ocean, May 22. The Dambusters earned their nickname on May 1, 1951 when the squadron's Skyraiders destroyed the heavily defended and strategically positioned Hwacheon Dam in North Korea with aerial torpedoes by making precise low level runs. 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.
