PACIFIC OCEAN (March 26, 2018) An F-35B aircraft, attached to the “Avengers” of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 211, takes off from the flight deck of Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) during an amphibious squadron and Marine expeditionary unit (MEU) integration (PMINT) exercise. PMINT is a training evolution between Essex Amphibious Ready Group and 13th MEU, which allows Sailors and Marines to train as a cohesive unit in preparation for their upcoming deployment.
