 The U.S. Navy's forward-employed aircraft carrier, U.S. is George Washington, hosted government and business leaders from the Republic of Malaysia. It is really a great experience for me, and I'm sure my fellow officers feel the same way. It's fascinating, very impressive, and to see the ability of the United States Navy. The visit allowed the guest a chance to experience a day of operations aboard an aircraft carrier and an opportunity to train with the U.S. Navy. Every time we do one of these events, it pays huge dividends just with our interaction with our counterparts back in Malaysia. Allowing allies to tour the Nimitz-class carrier strengthened ties with a key Indo-Asia-Pacific region partner. For U.S.S. George Washington, I'm Petty Officer Brian Abel.
