U.S. Sailors man the rails of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) as Nimitz pulls into San Deigo in support of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 17’s return home, Dec. 7, 2025. CVW 17 operated as part of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group during a nearly nine-month mission to the 3rd, 5th, and 7th Fleet areas of operations. Nimitz is pier side at Naval Air Station North Island for a scheduled port visit while operating in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations. An integral part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. 3rd Fleet leads naval forces in the Indo-Pacific and provides the realistic, relevant training necessary to execute the U.S. Navy’s role across the full spectrum of military operations.
