Sailors, assigned to Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department, perform maintenance on aircraft wheels in the tire shop of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while underway in the South China Sea, July 25, 2026. 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 premier 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.
