SOUTH CHINA SEA (Feb. 24, 2017) Sailors wrap a cargo net around pallets on the flight deck of Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) before flight quarters in preparation for an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 4, to pick it up during a vertical replenishment-at-sea. Wayne E. Meyer is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment with the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group as part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet-led initiative to extend the command and control functions of U.S. 3rd Fleet into the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike groups have patrolled the Indo-Asia-Pacific regularly and routinely for more than 70 years. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Kelsey L.
