Seaman Apprentice Paul Wilkerson, from New Jersey, assigned to deck department, tends the phone and distance line during a fueling-at-sea with USNS Earl Warren (T-AO-207) on the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while underway in the Philippine Sea, May 24, 2026. 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.
