USS Carl Vinson Arrives In San Diego

September 2, 2020 - The Nimitz-class super aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) arrives in San Diego after conducting a homeport change from Bremerton, Washington.

USS Carl Vinson recently completed a 17-month regularly scheduled docking planned incremental availability (DPIA) and successful sea trials to test the recently upgraded ship's systems. The DPIA included a system retrofit to accommodate Joint Strike Fighter mission capabilities to support F-35C Lightning II Joint Fighter squadrons.

The USS Carl Vinson was launched in 1980 and undertook her maiden voyage in 1983.
