(July 27, 2018) Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73), load rounds into magazines in preparation to fire weapons at the Cheatham Annex shooting range during Basic Security Reaction Force training (SRF-B). George Washington is undergoing refueling complex overhaul (RCOH) at Newport News Shipyard.
