Legalman 3rd Class Dorian Cashaw, from Chicago, and Yeoman 3rd Class Rod Simmons (AW), from Dyersburg, Tennessee, use a wood wedge to plug a ruptured pipe during pipe-patching training in the hangar bay of the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Damage control training is held regularly to ensure the crew is ready to combat shipboard causalities. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
