USS Ronald Reagan is the second Navy aircraft carrier to be upgraded to operate the new Boeing MQ-25A Stingray autonomous aerial refueler.

The ship underwent a Docked Planned Incremental Availability, which includes extensive hull maintenance, flight deck repair, reactor support, combat upgrades and improvements to living and working space for the approximately 5,000 crew members who serve on board when the ship is deployed.

After a planned incremental availability, carriers normally go through a return-to-operational status period that includes undocking the ship and sending it out on sea trials to ensure all repairs and new equipment are working properly.
