Aircraft carrier USS George Washington has completed its 52,064-mile, seven-month journey from Japan to Virginia on Dec. 17. Nearly two-thirds of the crew will return to San Diego and embark USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), the U.S. Navy says.
The ship will spend the next year qualifying student naval aviators before entering Newport News Shipbuilding in 2017 for its midlife overhaul and refueling.
