USS Carl Vinson (Feb. 21, 2007) -- A portion of a newly manufactured
mast is lifted via crane onto the superstructure of USS Carl Vinson
(CVN 70) by employees from Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard. The
installation of the ship's mast is a major milestone along the road
towards re-delivering USS Carl Vinson to the fleet for another 25 years
of responding to the nation's tasking. USS Carl Vinson is currently
undergoing its scheduled refueling complex overhaul (RCOH) at Northrop
Grumman Newport News shipyard. 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. U.S. Navy photo by Mass
