U.S. 7TH FLEET AREA OF OPERATIONS (March 27, 2017) Sailors aboard Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) prepare to heave a line from Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship USNS Charles Drew (T-AKE 10) as an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 4, picks up cargo from the Charles Drew’s flight deck during a replenishment-at-sea. Wayne E. Meyer is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment with the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group as part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet-led initiative to extend U.S. 3rd Fleet command and control functions into the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike groups have routinely patrolled the Indo-Asia-Pacific for more than 70 years. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Kelsey L. Adams/Released)
