The forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) steams to Okinawa, Japan, after a successful ship's repair availability. Essex, commanded by Capt. Troy Hart, is the lead ship of the only forward-deployed expeditionary strike group and serves as the flagship for CTF 76, the Navy's only forward-deployed amphibious force commander. Task Force 76 is headquartered at White Beach Naval Facility, Okinawa, Japan, with a detachment in Sasebo, Japan. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Mark R. Alvarez/Released)
