SAN DIEGO (June 28, 2023) Sailors man the rails aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) as the ship arrives in San Diego after a seven-month deployment to the U.S. 3rd and 7th Fleet areas of operation. Nimitz's presence in U.S. 3rd and 7th Fleet reinforced the United States' commitment to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
