Cmdr. Jeffery J. Creighan, from Pittsburgh, former commanding officer of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 103, smiles while getting doused in water during a change of command ceremony on the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while underway in the Pacific Ocean, June 9, 2024. Spraying an off-going commanding officer or retiring naval aviator with water following their last flight is a time-honored U.S. Navy tradition. George Washington is deployed as part of Southern Seas 2024 which seeks to enhance capability, improve interoperability, and strengthen maritime partnerships with countries throughout the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility through joint, multinational, and interagency exchanges and cooperation.
