USS Ronald Reagan Action

Marine Sgt. Dustin Bridges from Houston washes the side of an F/A-18C Hornet assigned to the Death Rattlers of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 323 on the flight deck of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Marines clean the jets in their squadron every week when at sea to prevent corrosion from saltwater. VMFA-323 is currently embarked on board Ronald Reagan conducting carrier qualifications in preparation for an upcoming deployment. Photo by: Petty Officer 3rd Class Benjamin Dobbs
