The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group and the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit have been conducting exercises in the South China Sea, the Navy said.
The Air Force Thunderbirds and Navy Blue Angels debut the "Super Delta" formation, the USS Nimitz returns home after 11 months, and more in this week's Frontline Photos.
Standing in the ship’s hangar bay, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he will make a decision soon on whether to send a carrier back to the Middle East, where the Nimitz had been.
