WASHINGTON -- Three U.S. aircraft carriers will be in Asia by next week after months of absence amid concerns of Chinese activity in the lead up to the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
The USS George Washington, with a crew of 2,702, arrived on Friday in Yokosuka, Japan, home to the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet, returning to the port for the first time in nine years. The USS Carl Vinson was deployed to the Pacific on Monday.
