NORFOLK, Va. (May 25, 2023) Rear Adm. John Meier, commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic, speaks to linehandlers as they wait to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) to pull into Naval Station Norfolk. The ship's return followed three days of demanding sea trials off the East Coast and the completion of the ship's refueling complex overhaul at Newport News Shipbuilding. George Washington is scheduled to return to U.S. 7th Fleet in 2024 and, in coordination with the Government of Japan, to serve as the forward-deployed Naval Forces- Japan aircraft carrier, replacing USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76).
