ARABIAN SEA (Nov. 8, 2021) A U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey attached to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 165 (Reinforced), 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, flies past The Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth (R 08) in the Arabian Sea on November 8, 2021. Simultaneously, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 cross-decked F-35B Lightning II's to the amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2). The evolution demonstrated increased interoperability, information sharing, and expanded access across the region as allies, as well as credible and capable forces operating in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.
