According to US Navy Pacific Fleet, USS Ronald Reagan is currently underway conducting routine operations. 


The forward-deployed US aircraft carrier departed its homeport of Yokosuka, Japan this past week.

“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-Pacific region,” US Navy Pacific Fleet said.
