MANILA, Philippines (Sept. 8, 2010) A Sailor aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) uses a fire hose to clean mud and debris from one of the ship's 90,000-pound anchors as the ship departs Manila, Philippines. George Washington arrived in Manila Sept. 4, making its third liberty port call since departing Yokosuka, Japan, for a 2010 summer patrol. George Washington, with its combined crew of more than 5,000 Sailors, now returns to sea to continue security and stability operations in the western Pacific Ocean.
