Named for the 40th President who rebuilt American military strength, the Ronald Reagan has prowled the Western Pacific from her homeport at Yokosuka, Japan, as the embodiment of American sea power in the region. Since her commissioning in 2003, CVN-76 has conducted humanitarian operations, freedom of navigation transits, and combat missions with equal professionalism. If you sailed on the Reagan in Yokosuka, you know what it means to be forward-deployed.
