HSC-12 flies during sunset in Guam

An MH-60S Seahawk, attached to the Golden Falcons of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 12, currently deployed aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73), takes off during expeditionary advanced base operations at U.S. Naval Base Guam, Oct. 29, 2024. George Washington is 7th Fleet’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 forward-deployed numbered fleet.
