NORFOLK, Va. (Aug. 27, 2007) -- USS George Washington (CVN 73) passes
by downtown Norfolk, Va., in transit through the Elizabeth River en
route to a week of sea trials. The Norfolk-based aircraft carrier is
undergoing sea trials, following a $300 million, 11-month planned
incremental availability. George Washington is scheduled to relieve USS
Kitty Hawk (CV 63) in 2008 as the Navy's only permanently forward
deployed aircraft carrier. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication
