220617-N-BR419-1189 PHILIPPINE SEA (June 17, 2022) Lt. Cmdr. Cody Forsythe, from Newport Beach, California, and Midshipman 1st Class Tom Joyce, from Kansas City, Kansas, launch from the flight deck of the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) in an F/A-18F Super Hornet attached to the Diamondbacks of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 102. Ronald Reagan hosted five U.S. Naval Academy Midshipmen for their summer cruise allowing them to experience day to day life aboard an aircraft carrier in the fleet. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, and supports alliances, partnerships and collective maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
