USS George Washington Will Arrive at Yokosuka on Sept. 25

The aircraft carrier USS George Washington will reach Yokosuka on Sept. 25, the Navy announced Friday.

The George Washington is the first nuclear-propelled ship to be forward-deployed to the Japan-based U.S. 7th Fleet. It replaces the USS Kitty Hawk, a 48-year-old carrier currently awaiting decommissioning in Bremerton, Wash.

The newest carrier will be arriving just a few days before I am headed to Yokosuka for a week. I am definitely *not* looking forward to hanging with a large group of n00bs who are going to be hellbent on destroying the very city I adore.
