Persian Gulf (June 5, 2005) -- The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS
Carl Vinson (CVN 70) displays exceptional pride and patriotism as the
battle flag is unfurled on her way through the Persian Gulf. The Carl
Vinson Carrier Strike Group is currently deployed conducting operations
in support of multi-national forces in Iraq and maritime security
operations in order to set the conditions for security and stability in
the region. Vinson will end its deployment with a homeport shift to
Norfolk, Va., and commence a three-year refuel and complex overhaul.
