Summary
YOKOSUKA, Japan (Jul. 31, 2016) Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handling) Airman Apprentice Alexander Gollihare uses an air hose to clear dirt and debris from the catwalks of the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Catwalks run the length of the ship on both the port and starboard sides and serve as a way to transit between the flight deck and the ship's interior. Ronald Reagan provides a combat-ready force, which protects and defends the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

In the United States Navy, these consist of ships commissioned with hull classification symbols CV (aircraft carrier), CVA (attack aircraft carrier), CVB (large aircraft carrier), CVL (light aircraft carrier), CVN (aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion) and CVAN (attack aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion). The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy was USS Langley (CV-1) on 20 March 1922.
