180515-N-OY799-0567 WATERS SOUTH OF JAPAN (May 15, 2018) Aviation Boatswain's Mate Airman Jamarre Columbus, from Compton, California, operates an aircraft elevator as an MH-60S Sea Hawk, assigned to the Military Sealift Command (MSC) dry cargo/ammunition ship USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE 14), delivers ordnance on the flight deck aboard the Navy's forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), as part of a replenishment-at-sea during sea trials. The non-combatant, civilian-crewed ship, operated by MSC, provides fuel, food, ordnance, spare parts, mail and other supplies to Navy ships throughout the world. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
