BREMERTON, Wash. (NNS) -- A Sailor from the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) died Feb. 24 as a result of a vehicle accident on State Route 16 in Kitsap County, Wash.
Electrician's Mate 3rd Class Roger Hartley, 25, of the ship's Air Department was pronounced dead at Harrison Memorial Hospital at 6:56 a.m. following the accident.
Hartley had served as an electrician's mate on board since reporting in Jul. 2010. Hartley achieved his Enlisted Surface and Aviation Warfare pins on Ronald Reagan's most recent deployment.
During that deployment, Reagan conducted Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief off the coast of Sendai, Japan following the Mar. 11 earthquake and tsunami. Additionally, Reagan provided direct action in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and New Dawn.
"It's a tragedy whenever we lose one of our shipmates and everyone on board is affected," said Cmdr. Kevin Lenox, Reagan's executive officer. "Hartley was a stellar Sailor and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time."
