Some of this article needs to be re-written. It seems to be a copy-and-paste from the references below.

The Carl Vinson isn't homeported at NOB. Odd numbered carriers are East Coast, even numbered carriers are West Coast. There could be exceptions, but the Carl Vinson isn't one of them. I believe its home port is Pearl Harbor. Someone may want to check the other homeported ships to make sure the list is accurate. I'm only familiar with subs and carriers, but those lists look accurate to me (after removing the CV)

Carl Vinson is undergoing refitting and a nuclear reactor swap at Newport News Naval Shipyards in Hampton. For a month or two she was sitting at NOB waiting for an open dock. All carriers regardless where they are homeported with the exception of USS Kitty Hawk go to Newport News for their nuclear reactor maintence. But its homeport is Bremerton, WA not Pearl Harbor.--NavyAO2(AW) 17:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Get a grip, Navy. Do you really think everything associated with the Navy deserves capital letters? Speak English. The last I checked that was the Navy's de facto language, not "Navalease." Better yet, look up the definitions of common and proper nouns. I doubt anyone in the Navy has ever bothered, especially Captains and Admirals!

Ok, what are you talking about?--NavyAO2(AW) 22:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
