<p>WATERS SOUTH OF JAPAN Sailors on the flight deck catch their breath alongside an F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to the “Eagles” of Strike Fighter Squadron 115 during a break in flight operations on the flight deck of the Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. The flight deck is one of the most dangerous work environments due to the density of hazards--jets blasts, spinning rotors and aircraft launches--in a relatively small platform 90 feet above the water’s surface. The USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group is on patrol in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
