220714-N-DW158-1008 SOUTH CHINA SEA (July 14, 2022) Aviation Electronics Technician 3rd Class Tristan Arnold, from Reno, Nevada, assigned to the Shadowhawks of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 141 conducts final checks on an EA-18G Growler on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). The primary role of EA-18G Growlers is to disrupt the ability to communicate between units in combat through the use of electronic warfare. 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.
