George Washington Launches Intense Flight Operations In The Middle East
The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) conducted routine flight operations on Sept. 2, 2026.
The carrier is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations to support maritime security and stability in the Middle East.
The footage shows flight operations aboard the carrier during its deployment in the region.
Related official releases from late August show the same carrier underway in the Arabian Sea after arriving in theater in mid-August to relieve USS Abraham Lincoln.
Carrier Air Wing 5 aircraft associated with the ship in recent official imagery include F/A-18 Super Hornets, F-35C Lightning IIs, E-2D Hawkeyes and EA-18G Growlers.
