Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Christian Richter, from Pennsylvania, assigned to deck department, heaves a mooring line around a capstan on the fantail during a sea-and-anchor evolution aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while pulling into Busan, Republic of Korea, Nov. 5, 2025. George Washington is the U.S. Navy’s premier forward-deployed aircraft carrier, a long-standing symbol of the United States’ commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region, while operating alongside allies and partners across the U.S. Navy’s largest numbered fleet.
