***”The Seal of USS Carl Vinson shows an eagle, wings spread and talons extended, carrying a banner in its beak. The eagle symbol is emblematic of the nation and the ship's motto, and also represents the power that resides in the ship's aircraft. The eagle flies in the form of a stylized letter ‘V,’ the initial of the ship's namesake, Congressman Carl Vinson. The ‘V’ also represents the ships hull when viewed bow-on. Inscribed on the banner the eagle carries is the Latin Phrase ‘Vis Per Mare’ which means ‘Strength from the Sea’”
Excerpted Research Info: “The USS CARL VINSON is the third NIMITZ -class aircraft carrier and the first ship in the Navy named after Congressman Carl Vinson.
