SAILORS GLIMPSE THE SHORES OF JAPAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS AS U-S-S RONALD REAGAN RETURNS TO YOKOSUKA.

WHILE ON PATROL, RONALD REAGAN COMPLETED EXERCISES VALIANT SHIELD, INVINCABLE SPIRIT AND KEEN SWORD 2016, EXERCISES DESIGNED TO ENHANCE COMBAT READINESS AND INTEROPERABILITY WITH PARTNERS IN THE REGION.

“WE KNOW THAT WE MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE OUT HERE DAY TO DAY IN WORLD EVENTS. IT’S NOT JUST THE IDEA THAT WE’RE OUT HERE JUST OPERATING AS A NAVY, SO TO OPERATE WITH OUR ALLIES AND INFLUENCE WORLD EVENTS THROUGH OUR PRESENCE, DETERENCE AND OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND IS OUTSTANDING. SO, I’M EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE EFFORTS OF THE CREW, THEIR ABILITY TO COPE IN A REALLY FAST PACED SCHEDULE OF OPERATIONS AND WE CONTINUE TO EXCEL.”

FOR U-S-S RONALD REAGAN, I’M PETTY OFFICER ADRIENNE POWERS.
