220706-N-SI601-1037 PHILIPPINE SEA (July 6, 2022) The Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) approaches the Military Sealift Command fleet replenishment oiler USNS Yukon (T-AO 202) to conduct a replenishment-at-sea. During the evolution, Yukon transported cargo and fuel to Ronald Reagan via vertical and connected replenishment. 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.
