HIROSHIMA, Japan -- The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and units from its carrier strike group arrived in Sasebo, Japan, on Friday for a scheduled port visit, the U.S. Navy announced.
The addition of Nimitz, the lead ship of her class with a crew of 5,000, means that there are two aircraft carriers in Japanese ports as the Group of Seven leaders gather in Hiroshima for the summit, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is joining as a guest. The USS Ronald Reagan, the Navy's sole forward-deployed aircraft carrier, is stationed in Yokosuka, Kanagawa prefecture.
