USS CARL VINSON is one of the mosk modern and formidable f igh t ing vessels i n t he world. The l a t e s t i n technoloqy plus t he s k i l l s and stamina of the American s a i l o r a r e cmbined aboard CARL VINSON to enable us to answer any conceivable t h r ea t to world peace.

Our nuclear power plant enables us to respond rapidly and i n advance of support vessels required f o r other types of f igh t ing ships, bringing our embarked A i r Wing to any scene of trouble around the globe.

O u r own Carrier A i r Wing FIETEEN is a formidable force with over 85 a i r c r a f t covering every aspect of modern Naval A i r Warfare capabi l i t i es .

The Primary Mission of USS CARL VINSON is t o be ready to employ its power anywhere i n the world a s di rected by the President of the United States. Only by maintaining its equipment and personnel i n t he highest s t a t e of readiness w i l l CARL VINSON be capable of carrying out its wide var ie ty of missions, including ant i -a i r warfare, anti-surface warfare and e lec t ron ic warfare.

Other tasks t h a t CARL VINSON shares with most U. S. Navy ships include maintaining mobility, replenishing ships a t sea and performing a var ie ty of non-combat missions such a s t he rescue a t sea of vessels i n d i s t r e s s and the transportation of refugees and other p r sanne l .

USS CARL VINSON is one of the most powerful self-contained canbat pla t - forms i n t h e world.

The surv ivab i l i ty of the sh ip i n a hos t i l e environment is enhanced by two of the U. S. Navy's l a t e s t close-in weapons systems.

I f any incoming a i r c r a f t or miss i les penetrate the sh ip ' s f i gh t e r a i r - c r a f t and guided missile cru i se r defense envelope, they w i l l f ind themselves facing the NAm Sea Sparraw Missile System and the Phalanx Close-In Weapons System, a sophist icated version of t he rotating-barrel Gatling Gun.

The sh ip ' s nuclear p e r plants allow CARL VINSON to t r ave l f o r extended periods i n excess of 30 knots without the need to replenish propulsion fuel.

Once on s ta t ion , CARL VINSON can remain longer and f l y more missions than f o s s i l fueled a i r c r a f t c a r r i e r s due to its a b i l i t y to car ry aviat ion f u e l i n tanks t h a t would otherwise be devoted to sh ip ' s f ue l i n the conventional a i r c r a f t carrier.

The dedication, professionalism, hard work and cambat readiness of t he o f f i c e r s and crew of USS CARL VINSON ensure the sh ip is ready to meet any challenge the fu ture may hold.

Engineering Department

The year 1990 was a tremendously successful year fo r the Engineering Departpent. During the pre-deployment preparations, a s i x month deployment to the Western Pacif ic and Indian Oceans, the haneport change to Bremerton, Washington and the canmencement of COH 90; Engineering m e t every mission requirement on or ahead of schedule. The year 1990 a l s o real ized the reorgan- iza t ion of Reactor and Engineering Departments. E-1 Division and the catapul t and d i e se l work centers were transferred to Reactor Department. Throughout, Engineering Department showed the same s p i r i t t h a t allowed CARL VINSON to win the Bat t le Efficiency and Engineering Awards.

E lec t r ica l Division provided valuable services to the ship and the Bat t le group during WESTPAC '90. F r m rewinding 25 motors f o r Bat t le Group Units, and conducting emergency repa i r s on UNREP s t a t i ons 15 and 21, to a graded refueling with the USS ROBISON, "E" Division always car r ied the load. Elec- t r i c a l Division a l s o conducted repairs on v i t a l control lers f o r NR 13-15 ve r t i ca l s to re s conveyors, the NR3 acccmmdation ladder, numerous firepumps and two ABTS. In foreign ports the general services shop could be counted on to r i g the dress sh ip l i gh t s come r a in or shine. "Em Division created a chal- lenging sh ip ' s force work package for COH 90 which included an upgrade of the rewind shop, overhaul of three 400HZ generators, replacement of the sh ip ' s gyro and the cableway improvement proglram involving the repair and overhaul of the cable system i n every space on board.

Repair ~ i v i s i o n had a very busy 1990. R-1 Division repaired the piping i n t h e secondary analysis cabinet, AtCW reducing s ta t ion , NR 2A main feed pump, NRS Three and four potable water pumps, and canpleted a major sh ipa l t to a l l four HPACS. Around the ship R-1 overhauled 10 list control f lapper valves and fabricated par t s f o r an A-6, an E-2 and other b a t t l e group units. They a l s o fixed a number of items for the sh ip such as: a hole i n a potable water tank, NR 13 conveyor shielding, the a f t a c c d a t i o n ladder, and 63 handrails. They a l so machined and ins ta l led a new captain 's chair. Wog day provided the carpenter 's shop an opportunity to show of f t h e i r wocdmrking s k i l l s by c ra f t - ing the coffins, stocks and the royal $tage and other f inishing touches t h a t made crossing the l i n e a day to remember fo r a l l involved. The Damage Con- trolmen of R-2 Division kept t h e i r edge with frequent GQ's culminating i n a flawless mass conflagration d r i l l . WES'@ACV9O was a f i r e f r e e deployment. R-2 a l s o supported operation Desert Shield by sending over $600,000 i n CBR equip- ment to ships i n the Persian Gulf. R-3 Division set a new shipboard record by ccxneleting over 2000 habi tab i l i ty and 300 non-watertight door trouble ca l l s . After cmple t ing WESTPAG190 they went back i n t o R-1 d ivis ion to prepare f o r Canplex Overhaul. During COH, Repair Division w i l l overhaul and clean the firemain, and AFW sys tem and f i x various damage control f i t t i n g s around the ship.

Superior e f f o r t s by the "Mechanics and Magicians" of Auxiliaries Division enabled CARL VINSON to maintain t h e i r equipment CASREP f r ee during the e n t i r e WESTPAC. Hydraulics shop conducted a number of emergency repa i r s including depot level work on NR 2 a i r c r a f t elevetor, NR 3 gypsy winch, NR 2 capstan and the starboard anchor windless control. The Steam Heat Shop had a very suc- cess fu l auxi l iary bo i le r inspection i n which they reduced the number of dis- crepancies by 72 percent from the previous inspection. They received high laure l s f ran the ~ V A I R P P d 3 boi ler inspectors and were recognized by the Carmanding Officer fo r t he i r outstanding e f for t s . FA02 a l s o performed numer- ous c r i t i c a l repa i r s to the ships laundry plant to keep it running. Outside repair put for th a herculean e f f o r t i n overhauling three f i r e pumps, kept a l l sh ip ' s boats i n 100 percent operabi l i ty during the deployment and canpleted a d i f f i c u l t c l a s s "B" overhaul on NR 13 ve r t i ca l stores conveyor. The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Shop conducted depot level repa i r s by cleaning a l l seven 363 ton a i r conditioning condensers, contributing grea t ly to t h e i r 100 percent operabi l i ty during deploywnt. Galley maintenance conducted innumerable repa i r s to gal ley gear, including eight ice machines, f i v e garbage grinders, rewiring food hot wells and the a f t KC-16 dishwashers, replacing the compressors i n the CPO thaw box and other repairs with only on board par ts . m07, the 02N2 work center, maintained t h e 02N2 plants a t 100 percent opera- b i l i t y to support f l i g h t operations. In between f l i g h t cycles, they r e b u i l t the solenoid valves, repacked the dessicant i n both plants and r e b u i l t the NR one tank vacuum pump. Auxiliaries d iv i s ion ' s canprehensive COH work package includes a sh ip ' s force overhaul and the cleaning and repa i r of v i r t ua l ly every piece of gear i n the division.

COH Department

AIMD Department

The year 1990 was t h e f i n e s t year i n AIMD's h is tory . A l l production d iv i s ions set records f o r avia t ion maintenance and provided unequaled support to COMCA- RAIRWING FIETEEN and COMCARGRU THRJX.

Wo major awards were earned by CARL VINSON and AIMD which r e f l e c t ed t h e crew's superb a t t i t u d e and capab i l i t i e s . In conjunction with CARL VINSON being awarded the 1989 COMNAVAIRPAC Battle llE", AIMD was awarded the AIMD Black "E" i n recognit ion of t h e i r b a t t l e excellence and readiness. Addition- a l l y , t he s h i p was awarded the Secretary of Defense Maintenance Award (Phoenix Award) f o r 1989, which is presented f o r maintenance awareness, mater ia l readi- ness, ef f ic iency, and waste reduction through innovative leadership, manage- ment and maintenance/repair techniques. AIMD'S contr ibut ion w a s s i gn i f i c an t i n enabling the CARL VINSON to be the f i r s t a i r c r a f t c a r r i e r to win t h i s pres t ig ious award a s one of t h e s i x outstanding maintenance f a c i l i t i e s i n t he Department of Defense.

For t h e period of deployment, 1 February 1990 through 31 J u l y 1990, AIMD broke a l l previously es tabl ished readiness marks with a 94 percent Mission Capable (MC) r a t e and a 93 percent Ful ly Mission Capable (FMC) r a t e .

The following acccsnplishments i l l u s t r a t e why WESTPAC190 was the pinnacle of c a r r i e r avia t ion maintenance:

O t h e r s ign i f ican t accanplishments for t he deployment include: F i r s t AIPD t o ccsnplete a WESTPAC deployment re lying so le ly on NAICOMIS; and maintained an unbelievable low 1.94 average on Broad arrow documents. For one s i x wek period during extended operations: Zero Broad arrows were maintained; lawest number of Repair and Return assemblies i n h i s to ry a t t h e end of deployment - 165; reduced on board awaiting maintenance items to zero p r io r t o returning to homeport; and achieved three "Measured Outstanding Activity Awards" i n a row covering October 1989 to August 1990 maintaining a yearly average of .86 percent overdue f o r ca l ib ra t ion r a t e which is s ign i f ican t ly below goal of 2 percent.

J u s t p r io r to the completion of WESJ?PAC, AIMD began planning f o r an in- depth Canplex Overhaul (COH-90). Preparation f o r a new A i r Wing deck load, const i tu t ing 22 major sh ip a l te ra t ions , began with the cataloging of a l l I=, TOL, SE, and W, and the laying up of Autanatic Test m i p n e n t (ATE) f o r replacement or react ivat ion on the Spring of 1992.

The Alameda Beach Detachment was established to function during t he COH to acccanplish the following:

- Canpletely overhaul a l l ground Support Equipnent (SE) - Rework and maintain ca l ib ra t ion cycles on a l l avia t ion test and

measuring equipnent. - Provide a total services aviat ion Technical Publications Library

(TPL) t o replace and update approximately 25,000 technical manuals. - Establish a t ransfer / receipt un i t f o r con t ro l of the myriad of

equipnent items newly received or t ransferred to other units.

Project Noah's Ark, planned and executed by AIMD, moved both dependents and POV's t o t he Bremerton area , saving money, time, and providing a glimpse of at-sea l i f e t o a l l dependents who took part .

: Upon ow a r r i v a l a t Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, AIMD began the COH with an aggressive Ship's Force Work Package (SEWP) . 66,254 manhours scheduled on 1770 Key Operations (KM)PS) i n 229 spaces w i l l canpletely r ehab i l i t a t e a l l AIMD w r k centers and many CVW-15 spaces to provide a clean, modern space fo r CARL VINSON s a i l o r s t o once again es tab l i sh the i r perch a s the "BEST CARRIER IN THE NAVY."

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT

?he major objective of the department is to assure qua l i ty medical care to a l l elements of Bat t le Group CHARLIE. As the Bat t le Medical Officer, the Senior Medical Officer provided medical a s s i s t v i s i t s , qua l i ty assurance v i s i t s and the Medical Officer Preceptor Program fo r the independent duty corpsman assigned to a l l sh ip ' s i n the b a t t l e group. Additionally, the Senior Medical Officer acted a s the DESRON NINE Medical Officer.

During WESTPAC/IO 90 (Feb-Jun) the Medical Department evaluated over 12,500 pat ients , admitted over 178 pat ients t o the ward, and medivaced over 28 pat ients to medical f a c i l i t i e s ashore. During the deployment the average monthly outpatient v i s i t s were 2,011.

The following a r e average monthly morbidity fo r 1990.

Outpatient v i s i t s 1,328 Physical Exams 156 X-Rays 380 Electrocardiograms (ECG s) 57 Audiograms 168 Laboratory Tests 5,568 F i l led Prescriptions 1,588

Additionally, there were 181 inpat ient admissions, and 101 surgical proce- dures.

The department was awarded the Medical Blue "M" by COMNAVAIRPAC a s the best Medical Department f o r its Claimancy i n 1989.

1990 was a sa fe year f o r the Ship and Air Wing. There were no f a t a l in- ju r ies or occupational i l lnesses .

No i n ju r i e s t h a t produced a permanent t o t a l d i s a b i l i t y occurred. i n ju r i e s occurred t h a t produced permanent p a r t i a l d i sab i l i ty : One broken heel and one broken ankle.

Four material (property) damage mishaps occurred. There were no Class Alpha or Bravo f l i g h t mishaps. Two Class Charlie f l i g h t mishaps did occur:

90FEB03, VA-97, Class C f l i g h t mishap. During c a r r i e r touch and go F-14A a i r c r a f t (VF-111) r i gh t wing t i p impaclted parked A-7E a i r c r a f t .

D E K DEPARTMENT

Deck Department ccxnmenced 1990 organized i n th ree divis ions and cmple t ing preparations f o r a forthcaning Western Pacific/Indian Ocean deployment. AS the sh ip got underway, the Department was reorganized i n t o two divis ions t o take advantage of the t a l e n t of only two Division Officers and to fur ther streamline administration. The deployment proved to be highly successful fo r both divis ions with a l l non-rated personnel qualifying fo r a l l bridge, a f t e r s teer ing, and incinerator watch s t a t i ons during the cruise. There were over t h i r t y very successful underway replenishments t h a t included both receiving and delivering JP-5, receiving stores and m u n i t i o n , and a personnel highline t ransfer of RADM March, the Bat t le Group Canmander. The deployment included seven anchorages a t various ports t ha t required extensive B & A crane opera- t ions f o r boat launch and recovery a s w e l l a s stores transfers. By the end of the deployment, Deck Department had canpleted a l l competitive exercises with an average grade of 99.5 percent. The highlight of the c ru ise f o r the depart- ment was the COPCARGRU THREE change of command, held on the best forecas t le i n the Pacif ic Fleet. Upon return to CONUS, Deck Department made f i n a l prepara- t ions f o r beginning a complex overhaul. On a r r i v a l a t Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, over half the department was assigned TAD t o the overhaul organiza- t ion (firewatch and hab i t ab i l i t y divisions) and deck was reorganized i n t o a s ing le division. Primary repairs fo r t he department include ccmplete sand- blasting and preservation of a l l ex te r ior spaces and the sh ip ' s s ides , a s w e l l a s overhaul of a l l underway replenishment winches, s l id ing padeyes, t he an- chors and chains, and repa i r of the B & A crane.

Improved Dental Readiness was the theme of the Dental Department f o r 1990. The Department not only provided top qua l i ty treatment f o r the personnel of CARL VINSON, embarked Air Wing and s t a f f s , but a l s o ccmpleted numerous opera- t i ona l underway v i s i t s to a l l ships i n Battle Group CHARLIE. Treatment pr* vided yielded ODR increases from 88.24 percent to 97.37 percent f o r sh ip ' s ccmpany; from 83.3 percent to 94.2 percent fo r the embarked Air Wing and s t a f f personnel; and from 75.3 percent to 87.7 percent f o r Battle Group CHARLIE escorts. During 1990, 11,003 pa t ien t v i s i t s were recorded. The value of the Dental Department was fur ther emphasizd by the completion of 1,034 prosthet ic laboratory procedures, 1,237 surgery cases, 10,180 periodontal procedures, 245 root canal procedures, the placement of over 3,000 f i l l i n g s and the delivery of 298 fixed and removable prostheses. The Dental Department was assigned numerous addi t ional du t ies i n support of sh ip operations. These c o l l a t e r a l assignments included: Coordinating tk ship ' s c ru ise book, providing person- nel to conduct PMS spot checks, providing an o f f i ce r representative and coor- dinator f o r the sh ip ' s boxing team, pmoviding a ship 's Radiation Safety Offi- cer, providing a custodian f o r the Morlale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Fund, providing ins t ruc tors fo r t he ship 's CPR program, and providing a treasurer f o r the sh ip ' s F i r s t Class Pet ty Off icer ' s Association.

The Dental Department a l s o contributed to the CARL VINSON'S Medical De- partment winning of the coveted Blue "M", by coordinating and operating the Walking Blood Bank Donor Program and by s t a f f ing Bat t le Dressing Stations. The Dental Team was frequently cal led upon to provide assistance a s Medical emergencies arose.

~ u r i n g 1990, t he Dental Department l o s t and gained one general d e n t i s t and l o s t its only o r a l surgeon through FCS orders. The remaining s t a f f coanpleted a successful t r an s i t i on t o treatment f a c i l i t i e s aboard the EX-USNS GAFFEY and t he Branch Dental C l i n i c Bremerton.

AIR DEPAR-

Air supe r io r i t y was maintained during CY 90. V-1 Division ( f l i g h t deck) and V-3 Division (hangar bays), respect ively performed a t o t a l of 59,000 a i r c r a f t moves, suf fe r ing only t en repor table crunches. The Air Department crunch r a t e was an admirable .00017.

V-2 d iv i s ion (ca tapu l t s and a r r e s t i ng gear) executed 8,168 mishap f r e e launch- es and recoveries while maintaining an a i r c r a f t launching and recovery equip ment (ALRE) a v a i l a b i l i t y i n excess of 98 percent. Throughout t h i s period, they performed numerous major maintenance evolutions, many of them a t sea. Several milestones were reached: The 30,000th launch on ca t apu l t one, t he 25,000th launch on ca t apu l t two and t h e 20,000th launch on both ca t apu l t th ree and ca tapu l t four. The 35,000th arrestment on engine th ree and t he 10,000th arrestment on engine one was recorded. The sh ip ' s t o t a l was i n excess of 92,000 a r res ted landings.

V-4 d iv i s ion ( fue l s ) pumped over 19 mil l ion gal lons of JP-5 to a i r c r a f t on board CARL VINSON, demonstrating superb qua l i t y control . They t ransferred 23,000 gal lons t o o ther ships i n campany and received i n excess of 17.5 m i l - l i o n gal lons v i a under way replenishment. A l l f u e l evolutions w e r e performed with no major s p i l l s .

The Air Department was a key player during record-setting WESTPAC 90 deploy- ment of t h e Gold Eagle/CVW-15 Wolfpack Team. The Air Department was a t its very bes t during t he f i r s t t h i r d of t he c ru i s e while conducting high tempo, s a f e f l i g h t operations i n d i r e c t support of exerc ise Team Sp i r i t . During the mid-cruise period, "f luid" f l i g h t deck operations influenced heavi ly by s h o r t no t ice Indian Ocean l o g i s t i c evolutions were t h e order of t h e day. During t h e f i n a l t h i r d of t he deployment, a s a f e and e f f i c i e n t operat ional tempo was sustained which maximized t he Gold Eagle/CVW-15 Wolfpack Team t r a w s o r t i e r a t i o , f l i g h t and hangar deck maintenance and end-of-cruise a i r c r a f t mainte- nance requirements.

Entering cmplex overhaul, i n October 90 a t Puget Sound Naval Ship Yard Brem- e r ton , WA, Air Department personnel faced many new challenges.

V-1 Division ( f l i g h t deck) conducted a major overhaul of spaces and e leva to rs and is tasked to refurbish a l l catwalks and t h e i s l and s t ruc tu re .

V-2 (ca tapul ts and a r r e s t i ng gear) removed t he ca tapu l t s and a r r e s t i ng gear i n addi t ion to a major overhaul of spaces.

V-4 Division ( fue l s ) defueled and flushed over 12 miles of p ipe and s to rage tanks under budget and ahead of schedule.

January 1990 found the Cmunica t ion Department making preparations fo r WESTPAC 90. CR Division received t w electric antenna tilt mechanisms and the in s t a l l a t i on of A N W , a new high qua l i ty secure voice system. Underway, 1 February f o r WESTPAC 90, CARL VINSON was designated a s "Battle Group CmRLIE Cmunica t ions Cannand ship" (CCS)". The department was responible f o r the canmunications, camnand and control of the ten sh ip b a t t l e group between themselves, various shore canunica t ions ins ta l la t ions , and other b a t t l e groups and foreign mi l i t a ry units. Transi t to Hawaii was spent t ra ining ba t t l e group uni ts , completing competitive exercises, and u ~ r a d i n g personnel s k i l l s . Ba t t le Group Charlie t rans i ted i n t o WESTPAC under s a t e l l i t e denial , while shore un i t s attempted t o locate b a t t l e group un i t s v ia t h e i r radio emissions. "Limited Range Intercept" procedures where aggressively used and Battle Group Charlie entered the WESrPAC area of operations v i r tua l ly unde- tected.

In February, CARL VINSON was awarded AIRPAC Bat t le "E" f o r the 1989 ccmpetitive cycle, and the Ccanmunications Department won second place f o r the Canmunica t ions Green "C" .

March found CARL VINSON par t ic ipat ing i n Team S p i r i t '90 with Naval un i t s from Korea and Japan. During t h i s time and throughout WESTPAC '90, the INMAR- SAT commercial s a t e l l i t e telephone was a major fac tor i n maintaining a i r c r a f t readiness r a t e s a t an a l l t ime high f o r any deployed carr ier /Air Wing. Squad- ron supply and maintenance o f f i ce r s could t a lk d i r e c t l y to shore counterparts to discuss c r i t i c a l requirements thereby shortening the supply "pipe" and eliminating miscomnunications.

Cmunica t ions Department maintained continuous s a t e l l i t e and high fre- quency terminations with NAVCAMS EASTPAC, NAKAMS WESTPAC, and NAXDMMSTA Philippines through February and March. These c i r c u i t s handle the vas t major- i t y of a l l administrative t r a f f i c t o and £ran the ship. During the t r a n s i t from the Western Pacif ic to the Indian Ocean, CARL VINSON was ab le to demn- s t r a t e the value of s p l i t SATCOM antenna configuration. This innovative system allows CARL VINSON to l i t e r a l l y comnunicate using two separate sa te l - lites simultaneously. New to the Western Pacific, the s p l i t antenna configu- ra t ion drew acclaim from COMSEVENTHnT and embarked s t a f f s .

In April the CARL VINSON established a high frequency termination with NAKOMMSTA Diego Garcia. Unique to this termination was the introduction of dual independent sideband (ISB) BR602WBR6029 modem operation. The high qua l i ty s ignal provided by the "berry" modems reduced frequency changes and provided an unprecedented leve l of connectivity. During the 44 day termina- t ion period, a t o t a l of nearly f i f t e e n thousand messages were processed with a minimum of retransmissions. During this termination a vigorous t ra ining program was implemented with NAWMMSTR Diego Garcia t h a t provided f o r shore/ship personnel to exchange duty. This allowed the operator to see h i s job from the other persons perspective.

while on s t a t i on i n t he Gulf of Cmn, CARL VINSON was tasked to provide maintenance on shore comnunication assets. A f i v e man team consist ing of FTs and Radiomen spent f i v e days TAD t o the Sultan of Oman providing badly needed maintenance on transmitters, receivers, and antennas.

me Communications Deparbnent participated i n the Air Electronic Key Transfer (OTAWEKT) exercises with NAXAMS WESTPAC. The electronic key trans- f e r of cryptographic material was considered very successful.

NAVCAMS WESTPAC a l s o tested the f u l l capabi l i ty of CARL VINSON and Bat t le Group CHARLIE ccmnnunications by implementing bearing impervious and high frequency improvement program procedures. These exercises demonstrated the a b i l i t y to camunicate i n a reduced/hostile environment. Pr ior t o deployment, CS Division completely overhauled the i n t e r i o r and ex te r ior areas on the 010 level. Three 24" searchlights were replaced with 12'' mercury xeon search- l ights . CS Division supported Bat t le Group CHARLIE using a l l forms of visual cumunications. The handling (transmission and reception) of administrative, l og i s t i c , and t a c t i c a l messages was conducted e f f i c i en t ly , expeditiously and with expertise. Signalman were cross decked to various un i t s a s a t ra ining tool to improve t h e i r confidence, expertise and to famil iar ize them with operational procedures and problems experienced on d i f f e r en t visual signaling platforms.

With re turn from WESTPAC i n August, Communications Department enjoyed a we11 deserved stand down from deployment. Soon we e r e busy making prepara- t ions fo r commencing the canplex overhaul. 15 September, CARL VINSON shi f ted homeport to Bremerton, Washington and on the 29th began a two year COH. Soon a l l c m u n i c a t i o n functions were secured and on 15 October the message center was established on the Ex-USNS GAFFEY. Equipnent removal and tearout cow menced i n preparation f o r i n s t a l l a t i on of new, upgraded equipnent and systems. ~ l l antennas were removed and stored a t t h e new combat systems overhaul faci l - i t y (CSOF) .

Since ~ u g u s t , many conanmications personnel have been assigned TAD to augment ships and s t a f f s deployed i n support of Operation Desert Shield, to NICC Bremerton, and to various COH functions such a s firewatch and habi tabi l i - ty. ,

?he mission of the Legal Department during 1990 was to advise and a s s i s t the Canmanding Officer and Executive Officer i n the interpreta t ion and application of the Uniform Code of Mili tary Jus t i ce and other mi l i t a ry laws and regula- t ions; to maintain good order and d isc ip l ine throughout the canmand; and to ensure prompt, f a i r administration of mil i tary justice. Consisting of three Divisions (L-1, Legal Office; L-2, the Ship's Master-at-Arms force; and L-3, the Ship's Brig), the Legal Office has 4 full-time en l i s ted personnel, one full-time attorney, an LDO Discipline Officer, 27 TAD personnel from sh ip ' s company assigned to L-2 and 13 assigned to L-3. During 1990, L-1 Division processed 32 Special Courts-martial, 28 SumMry Courts-martial, 76 Administra- t i v e discharges, and approximately 1,300 report c h i t s resu l t ing i n approxi- mately 700 actual non-judicial punishment cases. In addition, L-1 Division handled numerous personnel claims, provided extensive lega l ass is tance to the crew concerning a var ie ty of c i v i l and mi l i t a ry matters, administered the Liberty Risk program, acted a s a l i a i son to c i v i l i a n law enforcement agencies, and coordinated customs clearance upon return from WESTPAC fo r the e n t i r e Bat t le Group. The MAAS maintained shipboard patrols , ensured secur i ty

on board the sh ip during numerous evolutions (including pay days, UNREPS), ensured safe debarkation of l i be r ty par t ies , and conducted ac t ive sh ip wide crime prevention program. They processed a s many a s 1,300 ur inalysis samples per month, conducted investigations, provided crowd control , and t o t a l l y con- t ro l l ed procuremenVdistribution of l inens to Air Wing en l i s ted personnel. The Brig provides p r e t r i a l confinement up to 30 days, and confinement for three days bread and water whenever the sh ip is a t sea or deployed, During i n por t periods a t Alameda and Bremerton, the Brig is closed and a l l confinement is directed to Naval Brig f a c i l i t i e s . The Brig is capable of handling up to 17 prisoners a t one time: One each i n its t w o one-man cells and 15 i n t h e dormitory.

TRAINING DEPARTMENT

Training is a small department with a tremendous impact on USS CARL VINSON1s overa l l readiness. Canposed of personnel with diverse backgrounds, t ra ining functions i n f i v e areas of expertise.

Training administration is responsible f o r issuing a l l the camnandls TAD orders. During 1990, Training Administration issued 1,788 sets of cost and no-cost orders.

The Ccamnand Career Counselors coordinate and t r a i n departmental career counselors and provide individual ass is tance fo r career planning and negotiat- ing of orders. In compliance with the l a t e s t COMNAVAIRPAC guidance, f i r s t term a t t r i t i o n ine l ig ib l e r a t e i n 1990 dropped from 9.1 percent to 2.4 per- cent, adding to the rise of 6 percent i n overal l retention, For t h i s achieve- ment t he Gold Eagle was awarded Honorable Mention i n t he F isca l Year 90 Golden Anchor Award canpeti t ion, f o r a noteworthy re tent ion program.

The Substance Abuse Division includes two branches: The Counseling and Assistance Center (CAAC) and Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor (DAPA) . CAAC and DAPA include e f fec t ive programs within the canmand to provide counseling, education and treatment programs. In 1990, the Substance Abuse Division provided Navy Alcohol Drug Safety Awareness (NADSAP) Program education on board during c ru ise a s w e l l a s ashore. USS CARL VINSON was the only sh ip with a c i v i l i a n NADSAP f a c i l i t a t o r on board. Wenty-one classes were held on board for 672 Gold Eagle and embarked Air Wing personnel. Alcohol and Drug Aware- ness Management Seminars (ADAMS) were provided to 40 senior camnand personnel. CAAC screening was provided f o r 192 canmand personnel. Seven Level I1 coun- se l ing courses were provided f o r 74 canmand and Air Wing personnel. While i n the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, USS CARL VINSON CAAC counselors conducted 16 screenings fo r CAAC Bremerton. An addi t ional 15 personnel completed Level I11 treatment. Aftercare therapy by DAPA personnel continued throughout 1990.

The Familiarization and Indoctrination (FAM & I) area f a c i l i t a t e d c lasses for over 630 newly reporting en l i s ted personnel and NROTC midshipmen i n 18 c lasses throughout the year, a 56 percent increase over 1989,

The Human Resources and Canmand Managed -1 Opportunity ( C W ) area was responsible fo r conducting Navy Rights and Responsibil i t ies workshops i n every FAM 61 I c lass , a s w e l l a s a 92 percent canpletion r a t e for a l l CPOs and Offi- cers on board,
