Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) 3rd Class Ethan Weaver, from Woodbridge, Virginia, assigned to air department’s fuel division, samples fuel at a fueling station aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) during a fueling-at-sea with Military Sealift Command chartered ship motor tanker Badlands Trader while underway in the Philippine Sea, June 17, 2025. The USS George Washington Carrier Strike Group (GWA CSG) is on patrol in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. George Washington is the U.S. Navy’s premier forward-deployed aircraft carrier, a long-standing symbol of the United States’ commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region, while operating alongside allies and partners across the U.S. Navy’s largest numbered fleet.
