151215-N-YB023-0138 NORFOLK, Va. (Dec. 17, 2015) A Sailor assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 34 is greeted by his wife and new born baby on the pier of aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). Washington arrives at Naval Station Norfolk as part of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 9 following its forward deployment in Japan. Washington's arrival to Norfolk is part of a three-carrier swap with USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) and USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). After serving seven years as the U.S. Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier in Yokosuka, Japan, Washington proceeded to San Diego for a 10-day crew swap turnover with Ronald Reagan in August 2015. Washington then sailed around South America, participating in Southern Seas 2015 and UNITAS 2015. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Clemente A. Lynch/Released)
