An F/A-18 Super Hornet, attached to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 102, and an EA-18G Growler, attached to Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 141, prepare to launch off the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while underway in the South China Sea, August 7, 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 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.
