The USS Theodore Roosevelt's Return to San Diego Marks a Temporary Reprieve from a Crowded Pacific The USS Theodore Roosevelt is set to return to its homeport in San Diego after months of intense operations in the Pacific.
This welcome respite for the warship and its crew follows participation in the Rim of the Pacific 2026 exercises near Hawaii.
Although the Roosevelt's return was always intended, given its scheduled deployment beginning in September, its departure from the Pacific will leave just one aircraft carrier operating in the Western Pacific: the forward deployed USS George Washington (CVN 73).
