USS Dewey conducts fueling-at-sea with USS George Washington in Pacific Ocean

Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) comes alongside Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) prior to a fueling-at-sea evolution while underway in the Pacific Ocean, Dec. 8, 2025. 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.
