' WvV i f iK4: ' a ' ? £ . -lt :«5-l =t: PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE USS CARL VINSON, the Navy ' s newest and largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with embarked Carrier Airwing FIFTEEN, recently com- pleted its second major deployment, which included an extensive Indian Ocean period under the direction of Commander Seventh Fleet. The deployment was a great success in all aspects of demonstrating mission readiness and our determination to preserve peace. The scope and breath of this book encompasses all the events that have transpired since the arrival of USS CARL VINSON to its new homeport of Naval Air Station Alameda. Calif., on Oct. 29. 1983. and the subsequent completion of the ship ' s second major deployment on May 24. 1985. The ship airwing team continually reflected, in its daily performance, the theme Pursuit of Excellence. Throughout workups and the deploy- ment, the ship and its crew consistently demonstrated pride, professional- ism and the determination to carry out all evolutions in Battle Star style. The results have been evident in the divisional, departmental, squad- ron and ship awards received during this period of the ship ' s history. In the following pages, relive and share the memories in the pursuit toward excellence during the 1984-85 deployment to the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. Sincerely. mw D.E. ALTARAS CAPT USN Cruisebook Chairman
