USS George Washington (CVN-73) has left HIII’s Newport News Shipbuilding for sea trials after almost six years at the shipyard undergoing a mid-life refueling and overhaul, USNI News has learned.

The carrier departed the shipyard and sailed down the James River for the Atlantic Ocean at about noon Monday, a Navy official confirmed to USNI News. The sea trials, expected to last several days, follow the 2,117-day maintenance period that refueled the carrier’s two nuclear reactors, modernized systems and refurbished the ship’s interior. The Navy typically plans for the refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) to take four years.

      Poisoned Water: How a Navy Ship Dumped Fuel and Sickened Its Own Crew

      Barely clothed Marines huddled exhausted next to their coffin-style bunks stacked to the ceiling below deck on the USS Boxer after midnight in March 2016. They were extremely tired after a long day resupplying their ship, moving crate after crate dropped off by helicopter. A couple of the Marines got up from their ad hoc campfire -- gathered around a flashlight -- to grab a drink from a nearby water fountain.

SELRES E-4 candidates will continue to compete for advancement via the alternate final multiple score (A-FMS).

Cycle 113 will be the first cycle in which the E-4 NWAE will not be administered specifically for normal PRISE-R E-3 to E-4 advancement or to make a rate permanent for E-4 to E-4 PRISE-R Sailors. Policy changes will be promulgated in a PRISE-R specific NAVADMIN. Additionally, reference (a) will be updated to reflect the policy changes. 4. In line with references (b) and (c), the enlisted advancement worksheet (EAW) is the authoritative source of all data used to determine cycle 113 eligibility.

EAW must be created manually for all who receive a waiver. EP candidates are still bound by the same PMK-EE deadline as regular TIR candidates. d. High-year tenure (HYT). In line with reference (g), all SELRES are automatically approved to continue service through 30 September 2024 and all Fleet Reserve or retirement requests prior to this date are considered voluntary. In EAW, the "HYT Exceeded" entry may reflect "Yes" - when applicable, select "Yes" for "HYT Waived". e. Security/Interim security clearance (if required): Refer to chapter 2 of reference (b). All NWAE candidates must have applicable adjudication (Top Secret or Secret) or CO or OIC interim clearance dated prior to 1 August 2023.
