PACIFIC OCEAN (Aug. 23, 2021) U.S. Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron prepare to launch F-35B's from the flight deck of the Royal Navy HMS Queen Elizabeth (R 08) for participation in Exercise Coral Mustang in the Western Pacific Ocean in August 23, 2021. Coral Mustang was an opportunity for 5th-generation aircraft from the United Kingdom Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 21 and Expeditionary Strike Group 7 to train with the United States Air Force and the Japan Air Self-Defence Force. CSG21's global deployment provides an opportunity to train and exercise with our Allies and regional partners. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by 1st Lt. Zachary Bodner)
