An F/A-18F Super Hornet, attached to the “Fighting Redcocks” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 22, launches from the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) while operating in the Pacific Ocean, Dec. 6, 2025. VFA 22 returned to their homeport of Naval Air Station Lemoore after completing a nine-month mission in the U.S. 3rd, 5th, and 7th Fleet areas of operations aboard Nimitz, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11. Nimitz is underway in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations on a scheduled mission, demonstrating the U.S. Navy’s unwavering commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
