NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (March 5, 2007) -- The superstructure of USS Carl
Vinson (CVN 70) stands in the morning light on the pier of dry dock 11
at Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard. The ship's mast has just
been reinstalled, a major milestone accomplished before the aircraft
carrier leaves dry dock this spring for a floating pier. Vinson is
currently undergoing her scheduled refueling complex overhaul (RCOH),
an extensive yard period that all Nimitz-class aircraft carriers go
through near the mid-point of their 50-year life cycle. U.S. Navy photo
