Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) is the third United States Navy Nimitz class supercarrier and is named after Carl Vinson, a Congressman from Georgia. Carl Vinson''s callsign is "Gold Eagle". A member of the United States House of Representatives for fifty years, Carl Vinson was, for twenty-nine years, the Chairman of the House Naval Affairs and Armed Services Committee. The seal of USS Carl Vinson shows an eagle, wings spread and talons extended, carrying a banner in its beak. The eagle is emblematic of the nation and the ship''s motto, and also represents the power that resides in the ship''s aircraft. The eagle flies in the form of a stylized letter "V," the initial of the ship''s namesake, Congressman Carl Vinson. The "V" also represents the ship''s hull when viewed bow-on. Inscribed on the banner the eagle carries is the Latin Phrase "Vis Per Mare" which means "Strength from the Sea."
