Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Kevin Maguire instructs actor Tom Selleck on the function of the ship’s sound-powered telephone system on July 22, 2004. Mr. Selleck used the system to speak with crew members in the below deck arresting gear rooms from the ship’s bridge aboard USS Ronald Reagan's (CVN 76). Tom Selleck was aboard Reagan to welcome the ship’s crew to Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, California. Homeporting ceremonies for the Navy’s newest and most technologically advanced aircraft carrier will host various dignitaries, including Nancy Reagan, members of the Congress, state officials and various celebrities. Reagan is commanded by Captain James A. Symonds. While in transit, the ship visited the ports of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Valparaiso, Chile, and Callao, Peru. <br />
