In 2008, USS George Washington (CVN-73) made history by becoming the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier forward-deployed to Japan, relieving USS Kitty Hawk at Yokosuka. Known as "The Spirit of Freedom," GW stepped into her most strategic role — the centerpiece of U.S. naval power in the Western Pacific and a living symbol of the enduring U.S.-Japan alliance. This sweatshirt commemorates the 2008 cruise and honors the crew who served.
