Summary
PHILIPPINE SEA (May. 29, 2019) Sailors assigned to the Navy's forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) assess simulated patient wounds during a mass casualty drill in the hangar bay. Mass casualty drills provide the ship's medical and stretcher bearer team members the opportunity to treat simulated minor, serious and fatal injuries during realistic training scenarios. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of its allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.

Aircraft carriers are warships that act as airbases for carrier-based aircraft. 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.
