Logistics specialists aboard the U.S. Navy's forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) hook a bundle of nets onto an SH-60 Seahawk helicopter from the "Chargers" of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (HS) 14 while an air crewman looks on during a vertical replenishment with the Military Sealift Command's dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Alan Shepard (T-AKE 3). Ships and aircraft of the George Washington and USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) carrier strike groups are currently exercising to hone their collective interoperability, readiness, and the capability to respond quickly to potential crises in the region, ranging from combat operations to humanitarian assistance missions. As two of the Navy’s 11 global force carrier strike groups, the strike groups are further ensuring security, stability and peace in the vital Asia-Pacific region.
