Newport News, Va. (Nov. 14, 2006) -- Workers from Northrop Grumman
Newport News shipyard install a refurbished rudder on USS Carl Vinson
(CVN 70) in dry dock in Newport News. The rudder project is a major
milestone in the aircraft carrier's Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH).
The RCOH is an extensive yard period that all Nimitz-class aircraft
carriers go through near the mid-point of their 50-year life cycle.
