Persian Gulf (Mar. 31, 2005) -- The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) turns downwind in preparation for recovery of fixed-wing aircraft during flight operations in the Persian Gulf. The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is conducting operations in support of multi-national forces in Iraq and maritime security operations in the Persian Gulf. Carl Vinson will end its deployment with a homeport shift to Norfolk, Va., and will conduct a three-year refuel and complex overhaul.
