Wasp-class amphibious assault ship
USS Essex (LHD 2) conducts flight operations while
transiting the Luzon Strait in the Philippine Sea during
Noble Fusion 22 (NF22).
Noble Fusion demonstrates
that Navy and Marine Corps forward-deployed stand-in naval
expeditionary forces can operate as a Marine Expeditionary
Unit/Amphibious Ready Group team at sea, along with a
carrier strike group, in order to conduct lethal sea-denial
operations, seize key maritime terrain, guarantee freedom of
movement, and create advantage for U.S., partner and allied
forces.
