150524-N-EH855-083 WATERS SOUTH OF JAPAN (May 24, 2015) Airman Austin Emery, from Greenfield, Mo., left, and Gunner's Mate Anthony Layton, from Auburn, Ky., prepares to remove the barrel of a .50-caliber machine gun during a live-fire exercise on the fantail of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). George Washington and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, are on patrol in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. George Washington will conduct a hull-swap with the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) later this year after serving seven years as the U.S. Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier in Yokosuka, Japan.
