USS Carl Vinson   

211003-N-RO680-1424 PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 3, 2021) An F-35C Lightning II, assigned to the “Argonauts” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 147, launches off the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) in support of multiple-carrier strike group operations, Oct. 3, 2021. The United Kingdom’s carrier strike group – led by HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08), Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Hyuga-class helicopter destroyer JS Ise (DDH 182), Royal Canadian Navy Halifax-class frigate HMCS Winnipeg (FFH 338), Royal Netherlands Navy De Zeven Provinciën-class frigate HNLMS Evertsen (F 805), Royal New Zealand Navy Anzac-class frigate HMNZS Te Kaha (F 77), and U.S. Navy carrier strike groups – led by flagships USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) and Carl Vinson – conducted multiple-carrier strike group operations in the Philippine Sea. The integrated at-sea operations brought together more than 15,000 Sailors across five nations to demonstrate an unmatched network of alliances and partnerships in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
