PACIFIC OCEAN – “Flight quarters, flight quarters! Man your flight quarters stations now manning for event two,” Cmdr. Matthew Voss, head of air department aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73), also known as “Air Boss,” called out over the flight deck intercom on Oct. 2, 2024. From his perch in primary flight control, Voss watched the deck as the crew aboard George Washington sprang into action and prepared for the second flight deck event of the day.
