OKINAWA, Japan (Sept. 27, 2024) U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Joseph Smolenski, left, a UH-1Y Venom pilot, and Sgt. Andrew Aguirre, a UH-1Y Venom crew chief, both assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 165 (Reinforced), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, fly an aircraft from Okinawa to the expeditionary sea base USS Miguel Keith (ESB 5) following simulated urban close air support training, Sept. 27, 2024. Elements of the 15th MEU are embarked aboard Miguel Keith conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. ESB-class ships, like Miguel Keith, enable sea-based expeditionary forces, such as the 15th MEU, to maintain forward presence with the capability to quickly deploy forces, supplies and warfighting capabilities. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific.
