PHILIPPINE SEA (Sept. 5, 2020) The Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) approaches fleet replenishment oiler USNS John Ericsson (T-AO 194) as an MH-60S Sea Hawk, attached to the "Golden Falcons" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 12, transports cargo during a replenishment-at-sea. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, as well as the collective maritime interests of its allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
