An F-35C Lightning II, attached to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 147, launches off the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while underway in the South China Sea, Aug. 6, 2026. George Washington is the U.S. Navy’s premiere forward-deployed aircraft carrier, operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operation, 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.
