An F/A-18E Super Hornet, attached to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 102, prepares to land on the flightdeck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while underway in the Philippine Sea June 3, 2026. The George Washington Carrier Strike Group (GWACSG) is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. George Washington is the U.S. Navy’s premiere forward-deployed aircraft carrier, a long-standing symbol of the United States’ commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific, while operating alongside allies and partners across the U.S. Navy’s largest numbered fleet.
