SN Michael Dennis, from Snellville, Georgia, checks the arresting wire during flight operations on the flight deck of the Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). During recovery operations, aircraft land safely on the deck using one of three arresting wires to slow the aircraft to a stop on the flight deck. Ronald Reagan, the Carrier Strike Group Five (CSG 5) flagship, is on patrol supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
