South China Sea (March. 21, 2023) – U.S. Marines assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 362 (Reinforced), 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and Sailors assigned to the amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) prepare a CH-53E Super Stallion for take-off aboard the John P. Murtha, March 21. The mobility and sustainability provided by amphibious platforms like the CH-53E Super Stallion enable the Navy-Marine Corps team to extend the reach of our capabilities. The 13th MEU is embarked with the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, comprised of the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) and the amphibious transport dock ships USS Anchorage (LPD 23) and John P. Murtha, and operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with Allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
