PHILIPPINE SEA (June 9, 2022) Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Equipment) 2nd Class Vanzel Simmons, from Tampa, Florida, directs an F/A-18E Super Hornet attached to the "Royal Maces" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 27 to release an arresting wire on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). The "Royal Maces" conduct carrier-based air strike and strike force escort missions, and ship, battle group, and intelligence collection operations. 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.
