260611-N-EG735-1198 ATLANTIC OCEAN (June 11, 2026) Senior Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Erik Scott oversees flight operations with F-35B Lightning II, assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 542 , aboard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), June 11, 2026. Kearsarge is underway conducting Type Commander’s Amphibious Training (TCAT), a military exercise designed to enhance mobility and integration between the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy. The amphibious force is an integrated powerhouse providing sea, land, and air operations, giving geographic combatant commanders a more flexible, and agile force for aggregated or dis-aggregated operations across the globe.
