@ghostfaceplaya63: MANILA, Philippines – Towering above a fleet of ships dotting the Manila Bay horizon, the massive silhouette of the US Navy’s USS Ronald Reagan pierced the thick haze settling over Philippine waters. It was the first time the American warship returned to Manila in over three years, or since August 2019, after lockdowns spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, along with heightened tensions in the region, kept the vessel busy out at sea.The USS Reagan is the US Navy’s only forward deployed vessel, which means it’s a first responder in times of emergency or crisis. Its visit to the Philippines brings the message that Washington is committed to both deepening ties with allies and ensuring peace and stability in the region. This year alone, sailors onboard the vessel were involved in “routine” patrols off waters near Taiwan in August, after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the self-governing island brought tensions between the US and China to new heights. #foryou #tiktok #cvn76 #usnavy #usaf #usmc #usarmy #usa #ussronaldreagan #aircraftcarrier #ronaldreagan #philippines #afpyoucantrust #afp #fa50 #airstrike #f35 #f22 #f18 #edca #airstrike
