230605-N-LI114-1125 PHILIPPINE SEA (June 5, 2023) Lt. Michael Wycoff, from Omaha, Nebraska, performs safety checks prior to launching an EA-18G Growler, attached to the Shadowhawks of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 141, from the flight deck of the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), in the Philippine Sea, June 5, 2023. 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.
