Straits of Magellan (June 21, 2004) -- The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) cruises through the Straits of Magellan on her way to the Pacific Ocean. Reagan is underway circumnavigating South America in transit to her new homeport of San Diego, Calif., while participating in exercises supporting Summer Pulse 2004. Summer Pulse 2004 is the simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft strike groups (CSGs), demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat across the globe, in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and coalition military forces. Summer Pulse is the Navy's first deployment under its new Fleet Response Plan (FRP). U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Elizabeth Thompson (RELEASED)
