Sailors haul in mooring lines during a sea-and-anchor evolution aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan in Yokosuka, Japan, Aug. 18, 2016, after returning from inspection and survey testing at sea. The sailors arrange the lines in a side-by-side pattern to help prevent the ropes from getting tangled in their legs. The Reagan provides a combat-ready force to protect and defend the collective maritime interests of the United States and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
