(a) 乙支自由卫士 Ulchi Freedom Guardian

EULJI Mundeok
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulji_Mundeok
(Hanja: 乙支 文德; His name is often romanized as ULCHI Mundok according to
McCune-Reischauer romanization; military leader of Goguryeo 高句麗;
born in the mid-6th century and died sometime after 618, although the exact
date is unknown)

(b) This is the corresponding report in English:
US, South Korea to Stage Another Military Exercise. VOA, Aug. 15, 2010.
http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/usa/US-South-Korea-to-Stage-Massive-Joint-War-Games-100715664.html

Which is more detailed, but does not say if the carrier will be there THIS
TIME. (One paragraph states: "The U.S. Defense Department earlier this month
said some of the exercises would take place in the Yellow Sea, which
separates China and the Korean peninsula.  The nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier U.S.S. George Washington is set to take part." But the last sentence
just reiterates the known, but does not say when.)

("The USS Flier was lost after it struck a mine in the Balabac Strait
entrance to the South China Sea on Aug. 13, 1944")

Note: Balabac Strait
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balabac_Strait
(The strait "separates the Balabac island (Palawan province), Philippines
from the islands north of Borneo that are a part of Malaysia's Sabah state")

The latter islands are in the truth south of Balabac island. One can
appreciate the fact by clicking "Palawan" in the above Wiki page.
