After returning to port following exercises with South Korea and Japan, the USS George Washington (CVN 73) has returned to sea this morning. A Navy News Service report earlier this week titled USS George Washington Returns to Japan for Holidays gave the impression that the carrier was not due back to sea until after the beginning of the year.
With the GW Carrier Strike Group and also the Essex Amphibious Ready Group at sea, the bulk of the forward deployed US naval firepower in the Pacific has put to sea ahead of the South Korean exercises on Yeonpyeong island.
