ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 3, 2008) A NATO E-3A Airborne Warning and Control
System (AWACS) aircraft flies over the aircraft carrier USS George
Washington (CVN 73). George Washington is participating in Tailored
Ships Training Availability and Final Evaluation Problem (TSTA/FEP)
before a permanent homeport change in Yokosuka, Japan. The AWACS is
used to provide airborne battle management, surveillance, and weapons
control. This is the first time that an AWACS has done a low-approach
fly-by over a U.S. naval vessel. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication
