PACIFIC OCEAN (April 23, 2021) – A U.S. Navy MH-60S Sea Hawk, assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23, launched from the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) delivers cargo to dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE 14) during a replenishment-at-sea. The Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group and the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit are operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations as part of a scheduled deployment to the region. As the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed fleet, 7th Fleet routinely operates and interacts with 35 maritime nations while conducting missions to preserve and protect a free and open Indo-Pacific Region.
