An F/A-18 Super Hornet assigned to the "Fighting Redcocks" of Strike Fighter Squadron 22 lands aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. The Super Hornet provides the carrier strike group with a strike fighter that has significant growth potential and increased range, endurance and ordnance-carrying capabilities. The Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group is on a routine deployment in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility. Operating in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean, the U.S. 7th Fleet is the largest of the forward-deployed U.S. fleets covering 52 million square miles, with approximately 50 ships, 120 aircraft and 20,000 Sailors and Marines assigned at any given time.
