A U.S. Navy Sailor with the amphibious dock landing ship USS Comstock (LSD 45), guides a U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion to land on the flight deck during a visit, board, search, and seizure exercise, in the Philippine Sea, Aug. 7, 2024. VBSS is part of maritime interception operations that aim to delay, disrupt, or destroy enemy forces or supplies in the maritime domain. The 31st MEU is operating aboard ships of the USS America Amphibious Ready Group in the 7th Fleet area of operations, the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
