PHILIPPINE SEA (Nov. 20, 2022) Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Dylan Marcoux, from Franklin, N.H., establishes communication with the Royal Australian Navy supply ship HMAS Stalwart (A304) during a replenishment-at-sea with the U.S. Navy’s only forward deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) in the Philippine Sea, Nov. 20, 2022. The combined vertical replenishment, fueling-at-sea and connected replenishment marks the first time this class of Royal Australian Navy supply ship has resupplied a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier while operating at sea. 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.
