Safety wire must be replaced periodically on the catapult shuttles in order to maintain the integrity of the catapult. 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.
