In this photo supplied by the U.S. Navy Office of Community Outreach, Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Michael Forshay, left, from Granville, inventories supplies in the hangar bay of the U.S. Navy’s only forward deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76).

The action took place during a replenishment-at-sea evolution with the USNS Amelia Earhart (T-AKE 6), a dry cargo and ammunition ship.

The USS Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides “a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, as well as the collective maritime interests of its allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region,” according to supplied material.
