NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS) -- USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) "Gold Eagle" is competing against top commands from all the other branches of the military for the Secretary of Defense's Phoenix Award.
Every year the Navy, Marine Corps, Army and the Air Force compete for the award based on how well their commands perform maintenance.
According to the DoD Instruction 1348.30, the award recognizes maintenance operations and accomplishments at the unit and program levels. Every command that fulfills the award criteria listed in the instruction nominates themselves for the award by putting together a Phoenix Award package.
"Each department submits their highlights about their best practices where we can save money and time," said Lt. Cmdr. Quintin Tan, Carl Vinson's assistant maintenance officer. "I sit down and analyze all inputs from each department and make sure it adheres to the criteria that were submitted."
Since Carl Vinson won the Navy's 2008 award, the aircraft carrier is in competition with the other services to be the best of the best.
"All 18 departments had to have done very well from the maintenance expectation to have won this award," said Cmdr. Craig Owen, Carl Vinson's maintenance officer.
Carl Vinson is currently completing her scheduled refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) at Northrop Grumman Shipyard in Newport News. The RCOH is an extensive yard period that all Nimitz-class aircraft carriers go through near the mid-point of their 50-year life cycle.
The RCOH consisted of Carl Vinson's nuclear fuel being replenished and the ship's services and infrastructure upgraded to make her the most state-of-the-art aircraft carrier in the fleet and prepare for another 25 years or more of service.
