    GULF OF ADEN (Sept. 14 2018) – Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Nathan Barnes stands at attention in the hangar bay of Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) during a chief petty officer pinning ceremony while on a regularly scheduled deployment of Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). The Essex ARG/13th MEU is a lethal, flexible, and persistent Navy-Marine Corps team deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.
