    USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73)

    Sailors launch an F-35C Lighting II, attached to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 147, off the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while alongside Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Izumo-class multi-functional destroyer JS Kaga (DDH 184) and JMSDF Asahi-class destroyer JS Shiranui (DD 120) while underway in the Philippine Sea, June 10, 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.

    A U.S. Navy E-2 Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft (bureau number 602) is positioned on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, apparently being prepared for launch. Deck crew in color-coded jerseys are visible performing pre-launch duties, with a yellow-shirted aircraft handler kneeling in a directing posture. Additional aircraft and carrier deck infrastructure are visible in the background under bright, partly cloudy skies.

    Two flight deck crew members in yellow jerseys are signaling on the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier. An F/A-18 Super Hornet marked '200' is positioned on the catapult, ready for launch. A second carrier vessel is visible in the distant background on the open ocean.
    The image shows flight deck operations aboard a US Navy aircraft carrier, with yellow-shirted aircraft handling officers directing activities near a jet aircraft. Two personnel in yellow jerseys and protective helmets with visors are prominently visible in the foreground, while green-shirted crew members work near a military jet marked '200' in the background. The scene is captured under bright sunlight with a wide-angle perspective emphasizing the expansive carrier flight deck.
    Military personnel in flight deck gear are observing a helicopter approaching or hovering over what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck. Crew members are wearing color-coded jerseys and helmets with hearing protection, consistent with standard carrier deck operations. The wide-angle perspective captures both the deck crew in the foreground and the helicopter in the background against a clear blue sky.
