USS Ronald Reagan Departs for Sea Trials

By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Greg Johnson

PACIFIC OCEAN (NNS) -- The Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS
Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), departed Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY)
May 7.

Ronald Reagan's crew shifted colors at 11:54 a.m. and made way to conduct sea
trials in the final phase of the ship's selective restricted availability (SRA) maintenance
period, which began January 10.

"I am extremely proud of the Reagan crew's accomplishments up to this point of our
SRA period," said Capt. Buzz Donnelly, commanding officer. "We are all looking
forward to completing sea trials and returning to operations in the 7th Fleet."

During sea trials, Ronald Reagan's crew will undergo multiple training and
qualification exercises to include engineering and medical drills as well as air,
flight deck and hangar bay operations to evaluate the performance of Sailors and
their departments.

"A major priority is the safety of our crew as we continue to refine our mission
readiness of our ship, and crew and return to sea," said Donnelly. "To achieve
maximum readiness, it is imperative that we make every effort to identify and
reduce risk."

According to Donnelly, with Ronald Reagan's newest technology and well-
experienced crew, her return to operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet will mark a
significant milestone for the forward-deployed naval forces, reaffirming the
United States commitment to the region. 

"The crew has worked tirelessly to get the ship ready to succeed at our mission
at sea," said Capt. Paul Lanzilotta, executive officer. "In partnership with our
SRF (ship repair facility), Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Sumitomo Heavy
Industries teammates, we've been able to complete a tremendous amount of work
in a very compressed period. The ship is clearly in an improved material
condition and we're excited to be back into operations."

Ronald Reagan's departure from Yokosuka marks the first time the ship has
been underway since completing her 2016 patrol Nov. 21, 2017.

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.

SOUTH CHINA SEA (May 6, 2017) Sailors aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Sterett (DDG 104) prepares to join USS Dewey (DDG 105) for a replenishment-at-sea with the Henry J. Kaiser-class fleet replenishment oiler USNS John Ericsson (T-AO 194). Sterett and Dewey comprise the Sterett-Dewey Surface Action Group and is the third deploying group operating under the command and control construct called 3rd Fleet Forward.
