220727-N-WU964-1016 SOUTH CHINA SEA (July 27, 2022) An EA-18G Growler attached to the Shadowhawks of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 141 launches 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.
