PHILIPPINE SEA (June 21, 2020) An F/A-18E Super Hornet, assigned to the �Tomcatters� of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 31, launches from flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) to participate in dual carrier operations with the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), June 21, 2020. Dual carrier operations unify the tactical power of two individual carrier strike groups, providing fleet commanders with an unmatched, unified credible combat force capable of operating indefinitely. The Nimitz and Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike groups are on scheduled deployments to the Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Zachary Wheeler/Released)
