150818-N-NI474-005 SAN DIEGO (Aug. 18, 2015) Sailors attend an all-hands call aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) during a hull-swap with the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) at Naval Air Station North Island. The force structure change allows George Washington to undergo its mid-life refueling complex overhaul and Ronald Reagan to support the security and stability of the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
