Summary
PHILIPPINE SEA (Sep. 19, 2016) USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), conducts a live-fire exercise of a RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) weapon system during Exercise Valiant Shield 2016. The RAM system provides surface ships with self-defense against anti-ship missiles and asymmetric air and surface threats. USS Ronald Reagan is participating in Valiant Shield, a biennial, U.S.-only, field-training exercise with a focus on integration of joint training among U.S. forces. This training enables real-world proficiency in sustaining joint forces through detecting, locating, tracking and engaging units at sea, in the air, on land and in cyberspace in response to a range of mission areas.

Aircraft carriers are warships that act as airbases for carrier-based aircraft. In the United States Navy, these consist of ships commissioned with hull classification symbols CV (aircraft carrier), CVA (attack aircraft carrier), CVB (large aircraft carrier), CVL (light aircraft carrier), CVN (aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion) and CVAN (attack aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion). The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy was USS Langley (CV-1) on 20 March 1922.
