USS George Washington (CVN 73) Sailors gathered for a ceremony on the flight deck, 30 June 2006, to commemorate the nation’s 230th, and the ship’s 14th birthday. Capt. Kent Whalen, GW’s executive officer, was on hand as Sailors showed their appreciation to America and reaffirmed their dedication to traditions established by our founding fathers in 1776. “Independence Day recognizes everyone, civilian and military alike, who has contributed to making the United States what it is today,” said Chief Hull Technician (SW/AW) Jaymond Calmes, GW’s History and Heritage Committee coordinator. During the ceremony, Electrician’s Mate 1st Class Michael McKinley read the account of the life and times of the ship’s namesake, Gen. George Washington. “I’m here making sure everyone at home can sleep at night while I stand watch,” said McKinley. “I’m here to make sure we can remain a free nation.” 4.

The aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) with its crew of approximately 5,500 Sailors departed San Diego 21 August 2008, to begin its journey to Yokosuka, Japan to replace USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) as the United States’ only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier. This was the first time GW gets underway with CTF 70, Carrier Air Wing 5 (CVW 5) and Destroyer Squadron 15 (DESRON 15) as GW had been pier side at Naval Air Station North Island, having just completed repairs resulting from a fire at sea that took place 22 May 2008. GW is the permanent flag ship for CTF 70 while GW is forward deployed to Yokosuka, Japan. Task Force 70 is the Carrier Strike Group component of Battle Force Seventh Fleet. In the past, the task force had been centered on the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), which headed to Bremerton, WA to decommission from Naval Service in 2009 after 48 years on active duty. 4.
