Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) during a
firefighting drill on the ship's fantail. George Washington and its embarked
air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, are on patrol in the 7th Fleet area of
responsibility supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific
region. George Washington will conduct a hull-swap with the Nimitz-class
aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) later this year after serving seven
years as the U.S. Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier in Yokosuka,
Japan. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jessica
