PHILIPPINE SEA (June 9, 2022) Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Justin Melo, left, from Jacksonville, Florida, and Aviation Ordnanceman 3rd Class Ian Nixon, from Brookshire, Texas, assigned to the "Dambusters" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 195, move ordnance on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). The "Dambusters" earned their nickname on May 1, 1951 when the squadron's Skyraiders destroyed the heavily defended and strategically positioned Hwacheon Dam in North Korea with aerial torpedoes by making precise low level runs. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, and supports alliances, partnerships and collective maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
