In a gesture from Joe Biden to Javier Milei, the United States is finalizing the details to send one of its most powerful aircraft carriers to Argentina in May. This is the USS George Washington, the fourth most important ship in the North American Navy. Since 2010, a ship of these characteristics has not come to Argentina.
The USS George Washington, named after the first president of the United States, is the sixth Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. These are considered centerpieces of the US naval forces. These are the largest warships in the world, supporting and operating aircraft that engage in attacks against targets in the air, afloat and on land that threaten the free use of the sea, and engage in sustained power projection operations in support of the forces of the North American country and the coalition, as highlighted in the US Navy.

Additionally, they provide unique capabilities for disaster response and humanitarian assistance.
