U.S. Navy Sailors assigned to Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) prepare to pull into port as the ship transits the San Diego Bay, May 5, 2026. Essex is currently underway conducting routine operations in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations. An integral part of U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. 3rd Fleet operates naval forces in the Indo-Pacific and provides the realistic, relevant training necessary to execute the U.S. Navy's role across the full spectrum of military operations. U.S. 3rd Fleet works together with our allies and partners to advance freedom of navigation, the rule of law, and other principles that underpin security for the Indo-Pacific region.
