The most likely U.S. Navy aircraft carrier to replace USS George Washington in the Pacific Command area (PACOM) is the USS Theodore Roosevelt.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt is currently docked at the Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California, and has completed the certificates and training necessary for deployment. The U.S. Navy has described it as ready for deployment in June. The carrier will likely sail in the coming days to be dispatched to the Pacific Command area.
