USS George Washington CVN-73 Patch — The Spirit of Freedom at Sea

Named for the Father of the Nation, CVN-73 carries the spirit of American independence across the world’s oceans.

USS George Washington (CVN-73) is a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier commissioned in 1992. As one of the Navy’s premier capital ships, CVN-73 has served in virtually every major theater of operations since her commissioning, from Operation Southern Watch over Iraq to humanitarian relief operations and freedom of navigation patrols. Forward-deployed to Japan for years, George Washington served as the tip of America’s Pacific spear before rotating stateside. With a crew of over 5,000, an embarked air wing, and virtually unlimited range thanks to her nuclear reactors, CVN-73 remains one of the most powerful instruments of American foreign policy afloat.

Perfect For: CVN-73 crew members and veterans, carrier aviation personnel, Pacific Fleet sailors, naval history enthusiasts, and ship patch collectors.

The Father of the Nation, patrolling the world’s oceans.
