150929-N-TE278-908 IWO TO, Japan (Sept. 29, 2015) Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville (CG 62), while underway off the island of Iwo To, formerly known as Iwo Jima, pauses to honor the fallen service members of the Battle of Iwo Jima with the U.S. Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. Ronald Reagan's presence highlights how the relationship has grown between both countries who are committed to the peace, security and stability of the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
