220809-N-DW158-1021 PHILIPPINE SEA (Aug. 9, 2022) Aviation Electronics Technician 3rd Class Isaac Ballard, from Canton, New York, conducts final checks on an EA-18G Growler attached to the Shadowhawks of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 141 prior to 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. 9. 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.
