The impacts of Super Typhoon Bavi on the island of Rota, the southernmost municipality of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as seen from an MH-60S Seahawk attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 12, while underway with Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) in the Philippine Sea. The George Washington Carrier Strike Group 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.
