USS Carl Vinson is the third in the series of NIMITZ-class aircraft carriers to enter the navy fleet. USS Carl Vinson was commissioned on March 13, 1982 and was constructed by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in Newport News, Va.
USS Carl Vinson was named after the late Georgia Congressman Carl Vinson, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives for more than 50 years (1914-1965).
After extensive workups and training, the ship and its crew of close to 6,000 officers and enlisted personnel departed Norfolk, Va., on March 1, 1983, and embarked on an eight-month, around-the-world deployment.
On October 29, 1983, Carl Vinson sailed into San Francisco Bay for a three-month upgrade and repair.
She was based in the SF Bay area until she left for her new home in Bremerton Washington.
Carl Vinson sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge for the last time on January 14th 1997. As part of the move, the ship conducted a "
Noah's Ark
," wherein about 100 family members, 60 guests, 900 cars and even three cats enjoyed the three day transit to Bremerton. Capt David M. Crocker assumed command of Carl Vinson on January 29th.
The 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has performed exempelary service throughout its deployment.
