CORAL SEA (July 8, 2017) Aviation Boatswain's Mates (Equipment) guide an arresting wire back to its original position after an F/A-18F Super Hornet, from the "Diamondbacks" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 102, lands on the flight deck of the Navy's forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), during Talisman Saber 2017. Talisman Saber is a realistic and challenging exercise that brings service members closer and improves both and Australia's ability to work bilaterally and multilaterally, and prepares them to be poised to provide security regionally and globally.
