PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 28, 2020) Aviation Boatswain�s Mate (Equipment) Airman Evan Avara, from Kirkland, Washington, observes an F/A-18E Super Hornet, attached to the "Eagles" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 115, take off from the flight deck of the Navy�s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) during Keen Sword 21. Keen Sword is an example of the strength of U.S.-Japan Alliance, the foundation of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region for almost 60 years. The relationships built and maintained during these events are critical to our shared capability to respond to contingencies at a moment�s notice.
