USS George Washington CVN-73 History:

USS George Washington (CVN-73) is the sixth Nimitz class nuclear-powered supercarrier, and the fourth ship of the US Navy to be named after the first president of the United States. She was laid down on August 25, 1986; launched on July 21, 1990; and commissioned on July 4, 1992.

George Washington is 1,092 feet long, 257 feet wide, and is as high as a 24-story building at 244 feet. The supercarrier can accommodate approximately 80 aircraft and 6,250 crewmembers. There are over 2,500 compartments on board requiring 2,520 tons of air conditioning capacity, enough to cool over 2,000 homes. Her four distilling units can make 400,000 gallons of potable water each day and her food service divisions serve 18,000 meals per day.

Since commissioning, George Washington has made six Mediterranean Sea/Persian Gulf deployments. In 1994, during her maiden deployment, she served as the backdrop for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. In 1996, she was host to a historic meeting of the Joint Military Commission composed of the military leaders of the Former Warring Factions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She also played a vital peacekeeping role in Operation Decisive Endeavor in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and enforced the no-fly zone over Southern Iraq as part of Operation Southern Watch.

On September 6, George Washington was presented with the 2000 Battenberg Cup, which was awarded annually to the Atlantic Fleet ship or submarine with the greatest crew accomplishments during the previous calendar year. It was the second time the ship had won the award; the first time was in 1997. The crew also accepted the Flatley Award for aircraft carriers with the best aviation safety record. On June 23, George Washington was presented with the 2002 Battenberg Cup for the third time.

On September 13, 2004, GW sailors returned to sea to perform carrier qualifications, conduct training drills and fine tune their warfighting skills, in order to keep the surge carrier in top form if the need to deploy should arise. On November 3, 2004, George Washington welcomed Strike Fighter Squadron 122 (VFA-122) "Flying Eagles", the Fleet Replacement Squadron for the Navy's newest fighter, the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet. It was the first time the fighters had been launched and recovered on the carrier.
