    George Washington: A U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Like No Other

    The ship is currently undergoing a Refueling and Complex Overhaul which will set her up for 25 years of operations.


    George Washington: A U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Like No Other

    The sixth Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the fourth United States Navy vessel to be named for commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and the first president of the United States, USS George Washington (CVN-73) is currently undergoing her four-year Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH). The warship is on track to have the work completed by September of this year, and will soon be ready to operate for another twenty-five years.


    In addition to the refueling of the nuclear reactors, the ship’s combat systems and other warfighting capabilities are being upgraded – so that George Washington will leave the shipyard as one of the world’s most technologically advanced capital warships in the world.
    Once she returns to service, USS George Washington will also likely operate the carrier variant of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, making the Nimitz-class carrier an even more formidable warship in the U.S. Navy’s fleet.
