Navy, JMSDF conduct flyover during CSGEX

Aircraft from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 and a Republic of Korea Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft fly USS George Washington (CVN 73) while participating Carrier Strike Group Exercise (CSGEX) while at sea, Nov. 12, 2025. CSGEX is a bilateral exercise that strengthens naval interoperability, enhances the U.S. and Republic of Korea alliance, and demonstrates joint commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. 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.
