Joshua Wenker, commanding officer of Carl Vinson, said in a release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur sailors worked together to successfully execute a wide range of missions while operating in the Western Pacific and the Middle East, once again setting the standard for courage and steadfastness. I could not be more proud of my team, and their achievements continue to add to the storied history and legacy that has made this ship America\u2019s Favorite Carrier!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the Battle \u201cE\u201d achievement, 11 departments on board the Carl Vinson earned distinction, with the vessel also earning awards for Carrier Maintenance and Environment Protection and Energy Conservation, according to the Navy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the U.S. Navy\u2019s third Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the Carl Vinson plays an integral role as the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 1, consisting of Carrier Air Wing 2, guided-missile cruiser USS Cape St. George, the Zumwalt-class USS Michael Monsoor, the Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer USS Jack H. Lucas and the guided-missile destroyers of Destroyer Squadron 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aircraft carrier returned to port in August 2025 after a nine-month deployment
