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
