ATLANTIC OCEAN (July 15, 2009) -- A C-2A Greyhound assigned to Fleet
Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 40 approaches for a landing aboard the
aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson. Carl Vinson is underway in the
Atlantic Ocean conducting flight deck certification after completing
its scheduled refueling complex overhaul at Northrop Grumman
Shipbuilding. The overhaul was an extensive yard period that all
Nimitz-class aircraft carriers go through near the mid-point of their
50-year life cycle. Carl Vinson's nuclear fuel was replenished and the
ship's services and infrastructure upgraded to make her the most
state-of-the-art aircraft carrier in the fleet. U.S. Navy photo by
