HONG KONG - The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), guided-missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville (CG 62) and guided-missile destroyer USS Curtis D. Wilbur (DDG 54) anchored in Hong Kong Harbor, Nov. 21.

Ronald Reagan is the flagship for Commander, Task Force (CTF) 70, embarked with Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 and Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15.

“Hong Kong is always an incredible port visit and I’m glad that the officers and Sailors of Carrier Strike Group 5 will have the chance to enjoy the culture, vitality and diversity of this great city,” said Rear Adm. Karl O. Thomas, commander of Carrier Strike Group 5. “The abundant growth and prosperity that surrounds us in Hong Kong is what the United States Seventh Fleet seeks to preserve for all nations in this important region.”

While in port, Sailors will have opportunities to explore Hong Kong and interact with local citizens through sporting competitions, community relations projects, and tours.

U.S. Navy ships and Sailors have visited Hong Kong for decades. Ronald Reagan last visited Hong Kong in October 2017.

Ronald Reagan and CVW-5 are forward-deployed to the 7th Fleet area of operations.
