260723-N-EG735-1208 NORFOLK (July 23, 2026) Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Aaron Sitler, left, Machinist’s Mate Fireman Joshua Compton, prepare to replace a body to bonnet valve in the upper vehicle storage aboard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), July 23, 2026. Kearsarge’s mission is to transport, support, and deploy U.S. Marine Corps forces: enabling sea, land, and air operational capability. An amphibious ready group’s unique abilities give geographic combat commanders a more flexible, agile force, for aggregated or dis-aggregated operations across the globe.
