PHILIPPINE SEA (June 7, 2022) Damage Controlman Fireman Hunter Harper, from Danville, Georgia, applies a patch to a simulated broken pipe during a damage control drill aboard the U.S. Navy's only forward deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Ronald Reagan routinely conducts drills to assess the overall damage control capabilities of the ship and the knowledge of its Sailors. 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.
