PACIFIC OCEAN (July 27, 2018) – An F-35B Lightning II, attached to the “Avengers” of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 211, prepares to launch from the flight deck of Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) during a regularly scheduled deployment of Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th Expeditionary Unit (MEU). The Essex ARG/MEU team is a strong, flexible, responsive, and consistent force deployed to the 7th Fleet area of operations to support regional stability, reassure partners and allies and maintain a presence ready to respond to any crisis from humanitarian assistance to contingency operations. The Essex ARG and 13th MEU is the first continental United States Navy/Marine Corps team to deploy with the F-35B. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jenna Dobson)
