"Deploying our most capable units forward enhances the Navy's ability to contribute to the defense of Japan and meet our commitments under the terms of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States of America," Alexander stated.
On August 3, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier left the North Island naval base in Coronado, California before making its trip across the Pacific Ocean.
During her transit across the Pacific Ocean, the Ronald Reagan completed a blue water certification, replenishment at sea, day and night flight operations and damage control and medical drills, the release noted.
The carrier arrived in Yokosuka equipped with the latest technological upgrades, including a new local area computer network, the release added.
"Ronald Reagan is 11 years newer than [aircraft carrier] George Washington, which means the [Ronald Reagan] has benefited from 11 years of evolving technology," US Navy Captain Christopher Bolt said.
The Ronald Reagan carries an air wing — Carrier Air Wing 5 — which can deploy a combat-ready force that protects and defends the Western maritime interests in the Indo-Asia Pacific Region, according to the US Navy.
"contribute to the defense of Japan"
Against what? Are they having an outbreak of hentai tentacle monsters?
"During her transit across the Pacific Ocean, the Ronald Reagan completed a blue water certification, replenishment at sea, day and night flight operations and damage control and medical drills, the release noted."
And? It may be just me, but I really can't think of anyone to whom this information could be useful and how. "We sailed in a ship and did some things on the way." All right, boys, good job, I guess?
"equipped with the latest technological upgrades, including a new local area computer network"
Wow, you have a new LAN. What does it do that the old one didn't? Gets a message from one end of the ship to the other in less than an hour? I want details.
"Ronald Reagan is 11 years newer than [aircraft carrier] George Washington, which means the [Ronald Reagan] has benefited from 11 years of evolving technology," US Navy Captain Christopher Bolt said.
OK, I think the Captain is telling me he has a big penis.
"The Ronald Reagan carries an air wing — Carrier Air Wing 5 — which can deploy a combat-ready force that protects and defends the Western maritime interests in the Indo-Asia Pacific Region"
How long did it take you to concoct this ridiculous sentence?
Somehow I feel like the release is missing the information that all sailors had their uniforms washed and brushed their teeth in the morning.
