NAVIGATION OFFICER 'ARTMENT LCPO [SW) David Tokarski TEAMWORK...PRIDE...DUTY...HONOR...COURAGE...COMMITMENT. During Partnership of the Americas, USS GEORGE WASHINGTON sailed over 10,000 nautical miles, conducted 7 Underway Replenishments, and 4 restricted water transits. These accomplishments are much more than statistics placed on award certificates. They are a direct reflection of the professionalism and dedication of the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON Navigation Department. Although one of the smallest departments on the ship, we carry the weight of keeping every member of GW safe. We are responsible for coordinating the operation and safe navigation of the most powerful weapon system in the world. While the Partnership of the Americas will always bring fond memories of port visits to sunny and beautiful St. Maarten and Antigua, the dedicated Quartermasters of Navigation Department will take pride in knowing their personal efforts and hard work have directly contributed to the ideals that make this nation without equal.
