Crew members of the forward-deployed amphibious ship USS Essex (LHD 2) push an AV-8B Harrier, assigned to VMA-513, onto the ship's aircraft elevator. Essex is the lead ship of the only forward-deployed U.S. Expeditionary Group and serves as the flagship for CTF 76, the Navy's only forward-deployed amphibious commander. Task Force 76 is headquartered at White Beach Naval Facility, Okinawa, Japan, with a detachment in Sasebo, Japan. (U.S. Navy photo/Petty Officer 3rd Class Gabriel S. Weber)
