220728-N-DW158-2108 PHILIPPINE SEA (Aug. 1, 2022) Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Devin Lockwood, from Lancaster, California, arms ordnance on an EA-18G Growler attached to the Shadowhawks of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 141, before launch on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) in the Philippine Sea, Aug. 1. 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.
