  1. Recently, Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a notification from the US Forces Japan that the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington will arrive at Yokosuka on November 22 for its forward-deployment.
  2. As the security environment in the region surrounding Japan becomes increasingly severe, maintaining a robust presence of the US Navy through the forward-deployment of USS George Washington and the Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 is essential to the security of Japan and the maintenance of regional peace and stability. Japan highly values the role that the US 7th Fleet plays for such objective.
