OKINAWA, Japan - The crew of Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) 10, assigned to Naval Beach Unit (NBU) 7, approaches the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) as the ship transits to White Beach Naval Facility for a 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (31st MEU) offload. The ship’s arrival in Okinawa marks the end of the 31st MEU’s final deployment with Bonhomme Richard as the ship is scheduled to turn over duties with USS Wasp (LHD 1). Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of its expeditionary strike group, which is operating in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region to enhance partnerships and be a ready-response force for any type of contingency.
