PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov 16, 2022) - A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II pilot with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 122, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, parks on the flight deck of amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), Nov. 16, 2022. The ability to operate seamlessly and simultaneously on the sea, ashore, and in the air represents the unique value of the amphibious capability provided by the Navy-Marine Corps team. The 13th MEU is embarked with the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, comprised of amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) and amphibious transport docks USS Anchorage (LPD 23) and USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), conducting routine operations in the U.S. 3rd Fleet. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Carl Matthew Ruppert)
