Historical sketch 1944–2004
Carrier Strike Group Seven traced its lineage back to Night Carrier Division Seven, the U.S. Navy's first and only aircraft carrier formation exclusively dedicated to night air operations. Established on 19 December 1944, its aircraft carriers provided night air combat patrols for the U.S. Pacific Fleet's

Rear Admiral Thomas A. Mercer commanded the group (aboard Ranger, Midway, and Nimitz) before becoming Commander, Naval Forces Philippines. From the summer of 1992, the guided-missile cruisers Long Beach, Halsey, Reeves, Fox, and Truxtun; Destroyer Squadron 23; Carrier Air Wing Nine; and the carrier Nimitz were assigned as permanent units of the group.[14] However the group did not deploy again until 1993.
Carrier Group Seven, led by Rear Admiral Lyle Bien aboard Nimitz, crossed the Pacific Ocean from 2 to 20 December 1995 headed for Hong Kong.
On 26 February 1998, Carrier Group Seven departed Naval Station Norfolk, the commander and staff embarked aboard USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74), which was making her maiden deployment.[18] The group consisted of the carrier Stennis; Carrier Air Wing Seven; the cruiser San Jacinto; the destroyers Laboon and Cole; the destroyer Caron; the attack submarines Minneapolis-St. Paul and Providence; and the fast combat support ship Bridge.[19]
On 12 November 2001, two months ahead of schedule, the group left for an accelerated Middle East deployment, and became involved in the
From June 2002 to January 2003, Stennis underwent a seven-month refit. On 15 November 2003, Rear Admiral Matt Moffit turned over command of the group to Rear Admiral Patrick M. Walsh.[21] On 21 November 2003, the group completed a 26-day Composite Training Unit Exercise.[22]
Since 1956, aircraft carriers assigned to the group and division not already mentioned have included Midway, Coral Sea, Kitty Hawk, Saratoga, Constellation, Enterprise, and America.[5]
2004–2006 operations
In May 2004, the battle group deployed for the Western Pacific. During the deployment, the group consisted of the cruiser Lake Champlain, the replenishment ship
Carrier Group Seven was re-designated as Carrier Strike Group Seven on 1 October 2004.[25] Rear Admiral Michael H. Miller took command of the group on 15 April 2005. The aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan became the new group flagship in 2005 after the John C. Stennis changed its homeport.
On 17 October 2005, the group departed Naval Base San Diego, California to begin its pre-deployment Composite Training Unit Exercise.[26] The exercise was designed to train the whole carrier strike group to function as one, and consisted of two distinct phases evaluated by Commander, Strike Force Training Pacific. In addition to Carrier Strike Group Seven, several Canadian Navy ships also participated in the exercise, including the destroyer Algonquin; the frigates Vancouver, Calgary, and Ottawa; and the replenishment tanker Protecteur.[26][27] On 6 December 2005, the group departed San Diego for its final predeployment exercise, Joint Task Force Exercise 06-2 (JTFEX 06-2) off the coast of southern California. The exercise was completed on 17 December 2005.[28] During this exercise, later reports indicate the leased Swedish AIP attack submarine HSwMS Gotland managed to penetrate the defences of the group and 'sink' the Ronald Reagan.[29]
The group deployed to the Middle East on 4 January 2006. Escorts for the deployment included Lake Champlain, McCampbell, Paul Hamilton, and Decatur, accompanied by Rainier. Also part of the group for the deployment was
On 9 November 2006, Carrier Strike Group Seven departed San Diego to sustain multi-ship warfare skills through carrying out Joint Task Force Exercise 07-1 (JTFEX 07-1).
Surface warships operating with CTF-150 practiced the full spectrum of surface warfare scenarios. Led by the commodore of Destroyer Squadron 21 (DESRON-21) acting as CTF-150s Sea Combat Commander (SCC), the surface warships conducted sustained operations in maritime interdiction operations (MIO), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), and mine warfare (MW). ASW continued to be the top war-fighting priority.[35]
2007–2009 operations
On 25 January 2007 Rear Admiral Charles W. Martoglio relieved Rear Admiral Miller,[36] and commanded the group until 16 November 2007, when he was relieved himself by Rear Admiral James P. Wisecup. Following Wisecup, Rear Admiral Scott P. Hebner held command from 27 October 2008 to 27 October 2009.
On 27 January 2007, the group departed from San Diego for its Western Pacific surge deployment. The group operated in the western Pacific while
Following the group's return in April 2007, Ronald Reagan entered a six-month, $150-million refit.[39] On 31 October 2007, Ronald Reagan returned to North Island, following two days of sea trials to evaluate its material readiness to rejoin the fleet. On 9 November 2007, Reagan returned to Naval Air Station North Island, California, after completing its flight deck certification.[40]
On 16 November 2007, Rear Admiral James P. Wisecup relieved Rear Admiral Charles W. Martoglio as group commander. On 27 November 2007, the Ronald Reagan left San Diego to carry out their Tailored Ship's Training Assessment, designed to prepare the ship and embarked air wing for combat operations.[41] Joining the Reagan and CVW-14 were the guided-missile cruiser Chancellorsville; the guided-missile destroyers Gridley and Howard; and the guided-missile frigate Thach.[42][43]
During the exercises, during the early morning hours of 15 December 2007, Ronald Reagan responded to a medical emergency aboard the Bermuda-flagged cruise ship
On 17 March 2008, the group departed NAS North Island, to conduct its Composite Training Unit Exercise.[45] The exercise was designed to test the strike group's ability to operate in complex, hostile environments as a single unit, and was evaluated by Commander, Strike Force Training Pacific. On 7 April 2008, the group returned to its home base of NAS North Island. Four days later, on 11 April 2008, the group left port again to begin Joint Task Force Exercise 08-5. Joining the Reagan and CVW-14 were the guided-missile cruiser Chancellorsville; the guided-missile destroyers Gridley (pictured), Howard, and Decatur; and the guided-missile frigate Thach.[46] The exercise was the final preparative step for the 2008 deployment. On 22 April 2008, the group returned to base.
On 19 May 2008, the group departed from NAS North Island for its 2008 Western Pacific/Middle East deployment.[47] Escorts for the deployment included USS Chancellorsville (CG-62), USS Gridley (DDG-101), USS Howard (DDG-83), USS Decatur (DDG-73) and USS Thach (FFG-43). On 27 May 2008, the group began an undersea warfare exercise in the waters off Hawaii which included two attack submarines.[48]
The group cut short its port visit to Hong Kong and was ordered to provide humanitarian assistance for the island of
The group then participated in
On 28 May 2009, the group departed San Diego, California, to begin its 2009 Western Pacific/Middle East deployment.
2010 operations
In late 2009 a six-month maintenance period on the Ronald Reagan began at NAS North Island.[57] Ship refurbishments ranged from hi-tech combat systems and firefighting equipment to improved ship's laundry services and living spaces.[58] On 18 May 2010, Ronald Reagan departed NAS North Island for sea trials.[citation needed] The Reagan returned after the sea trials to NAS North Island on 19 May 2010. Reagan conducted flight deck certification from 2 June 2010.[59]
On 28 June 2010, Ronald Reagan arrived in Pearl Harbor to participate in Exercise Rim of the Pacific (
On 30 July 2010, RIMPAC 2010 ended with a Pearl Harbor press conference.[63] A reception for over 1,500 participants, distinguished visitors and special guests was held in the Reagan's hangar bay. On 8 August 2010, she returned to her homeport after a nearly two-month underway period.
On 18 October 2010 Ronald Reagan departed for its Composite Training Unit Exercise.[citation needed] Over the next three weeks, flight operations were conducted nearly continuously under simulated combat conditions. Ronald Reagan also simulated a straits transit with four ships from the strike group, participated in three opposed replenishments at sea, a vertical replenishment, and ran many general quarters and man overboard drills.[64] On 9 November 2010, the Reagan was diverted to provide assistance to the disabled cruise ship Carnival Splendor (pictured). On 14 November, the Ronald Reagan and its embarked carrier air wing completed its COMPTUEX successfully, and it returned to port on 17 December 2010.
2011 deployment
In February 2011, Rear Admiral Robert P. Girrier took command of the group. On 2 February 2011, the group departed NAS North Island for its Joint Task Force Exercise final deployment preparations. On 5 March 2011 the group completed the JTFEX, and began its 2011 deployment.
Carrier Strike Group Seven entered the
On 9 May 2011, Carrier Strike Group Seven entered the
During a visit to the carrier Ronald Reagan on 15 June 2011, Fifth Fleet commander Vice Admiral Mark I. Fox noted the contribution that strike group made:
- You are conducting operations to support our troops on the ground every single day from the flight deck of this ship. I am truly impressed with the way that the entire CSG has conducted its operation; you guys have been hitting it out of the ballpark.[69]
Carrier Strike Group Seven returned to its home base Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado, California, on 9 September 2011, completing its 2011 WESTPAC deployment.[68][70][71] A deployment highlight occurred on 18 April 2011 when Captain Kevin "Nix" Mannix made his 1,000th arrested landing when he landed his F/A-18F Super Hornet from Strike Fighter Squadron 154 on the flight deck of the Ronald Reagan (pictured). Captain Mannix was the deputy commander of Carrier Air Wing 14.[72]

Operation Tomodachi
In the aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Carrier Strike Group Seven was dispatched to take part in the U.S. military relief effort, Operation Tomodachi. It appears that the unplanned Japan disaster relief operations meant the carrier strike group's planned participation in Exercise Key Resolve/Foal Eagle 2011 in Korea was cancelled.[78] A planned port call to Busan, in South Korea was cancelled, and the group was the first U.S. naval force to arrive. It arrived off the east coast of Honshu on 13 March 2011 and immediately began supporting relief operations.
