PHILIPPINE SEA (Sept. 29, 2013)  Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) stand in formation to spell out #USSGW on the flight deck. The purpose of the #USSGW photo is to be used on the command's social media websites to broaden its visibility. George Washington and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, provide a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interest of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
