Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 3rd Class Hector Melendez directs an MH-60S Sea Hawk, assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 21, aboard amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), May 20, 2023 in the Pacific Ocean. 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 Makin Island team. The Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, comprised of Makin Island and amphibious transport docks USS Anchorage (LPD 23) and USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations with the embarked 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit to enhance interoperability with Allies and partners and serve as a ready-response force to defend peace and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
