PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 3, 2021) An MV-22 Osprey lands on the flight deck of the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth (R 08) during a photo exercise with the United Kingdom’s carrier strike group, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), led by Hyuga-class helicopter destroyer JS Ise (DDH 182), and U.S. Navy carrier strike groups, led by flagships USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) and USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70). The integrated at-sea operations brought together more than 15,000 Sailors across six nations, and demonstrates the U.S. Navy’s ability to work closely with its unmatched network of alliances and partnerships in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
