PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 12, 2024) U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Cristobal Chavez, left, an aviation ordnance systems technician, and Gunnery Sgt. Tryler Belt, an aviation ordnance technician, both assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 165 (Reinforced), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, prepare 20 mm ammunition aboard the expeditionary sea base Miguel Keith (ESB 5) while underway in the Philippine Sea, Oct. 12, 2024. Elements of the 15th MEU are embarked aboard Miguel Keith conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. ESB-class ships, like Miguel Keith, enable sea-based expeditionary forces, such as the 15th MEU, to maintain forward presence with the capability to quickly deploy forces, supplies and warfighting capabilities. 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.
