180420-N-DL434-0342 PACIFIC OCEAN (April 20, 2018) A range line coach, Gunner’s Mate 3rd Class Ryan Edmunds, from Glasgow, Ky., scores a firing-range target during a small-arms live-fire exercise on the port aircraft elevator of the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6). Bonhomme Richard is operating in the Indo-Pacific region as part of a regularly scheduled patrol and provides a rapid-response capability in the event of a regional contingency or natural disaster. Bonhomme Richard has been the flagship of the Amphibious Force 7th Fleet since April 2012 and will now transit to its new homeport in San Diego for follow-on operations and eventual upgrades to become F-35B Lightning II capable.
