An aircraft carrier is a seagoing airbase equipped with a flight deck and facilities for carrying, arming, deploying and recovering aircraft. This allows a naval force to provide airpower worldwide without depending on land air bases. Super carriers are the largest warships ever built typically displacing over 65,000 tons. The carrier replaced the battleship as the flagship of the fleet. She was built by Newport News Shipbuilding in Hampton VA and commissioned in October 2014. Since then, she has been deployed in Operation Desert Strike, Operation Iraqi freedom, Operation Southern watch and Operation Enduring Freedom. The motto of the USS Carl Vinson is “Strength from the Sea” and call sign is “Gold Eagle”. -----------------------------------------------------------------------  Nautical chart (San Diego Harbor) art print of the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70.  Free shipping (USA only) Art Print  Art print is printed on Canson Fine Art-Photo Rag Paper or equivalent.  Mounted in a beveled double mat.  Matted Art Print is ready for a standard 8”x10”, 11”x14” or 16”x20” frame.  Mat will be signed by the artist.  Note: Mat size is the outside dimension.
