U.S. Navy carrier battle groups have, since the mid-Cold War period, maintained a pattern of deployments to trouble spots, beginning with an overhaul, individual ship training, battle group training, group preparation exercise, and then the deployment. On returning home, the cycle begins once more. As part of these deployments, the Carl Vinson carrier battle group participated in Exercise <a href="/wiki/RIMPAC" title="RIMPAC">RIMPAC</a> '84, RIMPAC '86, RIMPAC '98, PACEX '89, Exercise Rugged Nautilus, <a href="/wiki/Operation_Southern_Watch" title="Operation Southern Watch">Operation Southern Watch</a>, <a href="/wiki/Operation_Desert_Strike" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Desert Strike">Operation Desert Strike</a>, <a href="/wiki/Operation_Desert_Fox" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Desert Fox">Operation Desert Fox</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Operation_Iraqi_Freedom" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Iraqi Freedom">Operation Iraqi Freedom</a>.<a href="#cite_note-CVHistVinson-14">[13]</a> From 1989 to 1991, USS Carl Vinson served as the flagship for Carrier Group 3. During this period, Carrier Group 3 was one of three battle groups that took part in PACEX '89. In August 1990, Commander, <a href="/wiki/U.S._Seventh_Fleet" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Seventh Fleet">U.S. Seventh Fleet</a> was deployed to Bahrain in order to serve as Commander, <a href="/wiki/U.S._Naval_Forces_Central_Command" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Naval Forces Central Command">U.S. Naval Forces Central Command</a> (ComUSNAVCENT) following the <a href="/wiki/Iraqi_invasion_of_Kuwait" title="Iraqi invasion of Kuwait">Iraqi invasion of Kuwait</a>.

In November, the NAVCENT-Riyadh command was transferred from COMCARGRU 3 to Commander, <a href="/wiki/Cruiser-Destroyer_Group_5" class="mw-redirect" title="Cruiser-Destroyer Group 5">Cruiser-Destroyer Group 5</a>. This change resulted in the Navy flag officer at NAVCENT Riyadh's remaining relatively junior to other Service representatives, particularly the Air Force. In the middle of 1992, the U.S. Navy made some organizational changes. Each of the Navy's twelve carrier battle groups was planned to consist of an aircraft carrier; an embarked carrier air wing; cruiser, destroyer, and frigate units; and two nuclear-powered attack submarines.<a href="#cite_note-16">[15]</a> The chart below shows the ships and aircraft of the group after the reorganization.<a href="#cite_note-PolmarUSFleet1993-17">[16]</a> <dl><dt>Carrier Group Three, late 1992<a href="#cite_note-PolmarUSFleet1993-17">[16]</a></dt></dl> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" width="99%"> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="1" width="20%" align="center">Guided-Missile Cruisers </th> <th colspan="1" width="0%" align="center"> </th> <th colspan="1" width="20%" align="center"><a href="/wiki/Destroyer_Squadron_21" class="mw-redirect" title="Destroyer Squadron 21">Destroyer Squadron 21</a> </th> <th colspan="1" width="0%" align="center"> </th> <th colspan="2" align="center"><a href="/wiki/Carrier_Air_Wing_11" class="mw-redirect" title="Carrier Air Wing 11">Carrier Air Wing 11</a> squadrons embarked aboard <a href="/wiki/USS_Abraham_Lincoln_(CVN-72)" title="USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)">USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)</a> </th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_Shiloh_(CG-67)" title="USS Shiloh (CG-67)">USS Shiloh (CG-67)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_Fitzgerald" title="USS Fitzgerald">USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/VF-213" class="mw-redirect" title="VF-213">Fighter Squadron 213</a>: <a href="/wiki/F-14A" class="mw-redirect" title="F-14A">F-14A</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/VAW-117" title="VAW-117">Airborne Early Warning Squadron 117</a>: <a href="/wiki/E-2C" class="mw-redirect" title="E-2C">E-2C</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_Princeton_(CG-59)" title="USS Princeton (CG-59)">USS Princeton (CG-59)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_John_Paul_Jones_(DDG-53)" title="USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53)">USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/VF-114" title="VF-114">Fighter Squadron 114</a>: F-14A </td> <td>Sea Control Squadron 29: <a href="/wiki/Lockheed_S-3_Viking" title="Lockheed S-3 Viking">S-3B</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_Texas_(CGN-39)" title="USS Texas (CGN-39)">USS Texas (CGN-39)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_Ingersoll_(DD-990)" title="USS Ingersoll (DD-990)">USS Ingersoll (DD-990)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/VFA-94" title="VFA-94">Strike Fighter Squadron 94</a>: <a href="/wiki/F/A-18C" class="mw-redirect" title="F/A-18C">F/A-18C</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/HS-6" class="mw-redirect" title="HS-6">Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 6</a>: <a href="/wiki/SH-60#SH-60F_Seahawk" class="mw-redirect" title="SH-60">SH-60F</a>, <a href="/wiki/SH-60#HH-60H_Seahawk" class="mw-redirect" title="SH-60">HH-60H</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_California_(CGN-36)" title="USS California (CGN-36)">USS California (CGN-36)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_John_Young" title="USS John Young">USS John Young (DD-973)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/VFA-22" title="VFA-22">Strike Fighter Squadron 22</a>: F/A-18C </td> <td>—— </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_Sterett_(CG-31)" title="USS Sterett (CG-31)">USS Sterett (CG-31)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_Ingraham_(FFG-61)" title="USS Ingraham (FFG-61)">USS Ingraham (FFG-61)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Third_VA-95_(U.S._Navy)" title="Third VA-95 (U.S. Navy)">Attack Squadron 95</a>: <a href="/wiki/A-6E" class="mw-redirect" title="A-6E">A-6E</a>, <a href="/wiki/KA-6_Intruder#KA-6D" class="mw-redirect" title="KA-6 Intruder">KA-6D</a> </td> <td>—— </td></tr> <tr> <td>—— </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/USS_Gary_(FFG-51)" title="USS Gary (FFG-51)">USS Gary (FFG-51)</a> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/VAQ-135" title="VAQ-135">Electronic Warfare Squadron 135</a>: <a href="/wiki/EA-6B" class="mw-redirect" title="EA-6B">EA-6B</a> </td> <td>—— </td></tr> </tbody></table> From June 1993, Commander Carrier Group 3 had his flag aboard Abraham Lincoln.

The final command-and-control mission for U.S. forces over Iraq was flown by an E-2C Hawkeye (pictured) from Airborne Early Warning Squadron 112, catapulting off the carrier Stennis at 7:32 am and returning at 11:04 a.m, both local time.<a href="#cite_note-NNS111220-02-11">[10]</a> While operating with <a href="/wiki/Combined_Task_Force_151" title="Combined Task Force 151">Combined Task Force 151</a>, on 13 December 2011, the destroyer <a href="/wiki/USS_Pinckney" title="USS Pinckney">Pinckney</a> disrupted a group of suspected pirates south of Yemen near the Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor. At approximately 8:40 am local time, the merchant vessel M/V Nordic Apollo reported to <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_Maritime_Trade_Operations" class="mw-redirect" title="United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations">United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations</a>, Dubai, of being fired upon by pirates in a skiff. At approximately 11:00 am, the M/V Heather, operating 30 nautical miles from Nordic Apollo, reported suspicious activity by a skiff. CTF-151 commander Rear Admiral Kaleem Shaukat, Pakistan Navy, ordered Pinckney to investigate.<a href="#cite_note-NNS111221-05-69">[68]</a> Pinckney got underway and launched its <a href="/wiki/MH-60R" class="mw-redirect" title="MH-60R">MH-60R</a> helicopter which located a suspicious skiff. Once under observation, the helicopter reported that the skiff had nine suspected pirates aboard, as well as several ladders, weapons and fuel containers that the suspected pirates attempted to cover up or throw overboard. As Pinckney closed, the skiff stopped and the suspected pirates threw their weapons overboard, which were identified as five <a href="/wiki/AK-47" title="AK-47">AK-47</a> rifles, one <a href="/wiki/Rocket_propelled_grenade" class="mw-redirect" title="Rocket propelled grenade">rocket propelled grenade</a> (RPG) launcher. and three RPG rounds. Pinckney conduct a boarding using their <a href="/wiki/VBSS" class="mw-redirect" title="VBSS">visit, board, search and seizure</a> (VBSS) team (pictured), and once aboard, the VBSS team confirmed that there were nine suspected pirates, one grappling hook, 36 barrels of fuel, and 75 and 45 horsepower outboard engines. The VBSS team scuttled one outboard motor and left the skiff with enough fuel and water to return to shore.<a href="#cite_note-NNS111221-05-69">[68]</a> On 5 January 2012, at approximately 12:30 p.m local time, an SH-60S Seahawk helicopter from guided-missile destroyer <a href="/wiki/USS_Kidd_(DDG-100)" title="USS Kidd (DDG-100)">Kidd</a> detected a suspected pirate skiff alongside the Iranian-flagged fishing dhow Al Molai operating in the northern <a href="/wiki/Arabian_Sea" title="Arabian Sea">Arabian Sea</a>. Simultaneously, the Kidd received a distress call was from the master of the Al Molai claiming to be held captive by pirates.<a href="#cite_note-NNS120106-08-70">[69]</a> The Kidd dispatched a visit, board, search and seizure team that boarded the Al Molai (pictured) and subsequently detained 15 suspected pirates who had been holding a 13-member Iranian crew hostage for several weeks. The pirates did not resist the boarding, quickly surrendered, and were detained on the Al Molai by the Kidd boarding party until the next morning, 6 January 2012, when they were transferred to the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis where the incident was reviewed for potential prosecution.<a href="#cite_note-NNS120106-08-70">[69]</a> According to the Iranian vessel's crew, the Al Molai had been pirated and used as a "mother ship" for pirate operations throughout the Persian Gulf during the preceding 40–45 days. The pirates forced the Al Molai crew to live in harsh conditions under the constant threat of violence with limited supplies and medical aid. The Kidd VSBB team provided the Al Molai crew with food, water, and medical care, and the Al Molai master thanked the VBSS team for their assistance.<a href="#cite_note-NNS120106-08-70">[69]</a> On 18 January 2012, at 7:53 am local time, an MH-60R Seahawk helicopter from the squadron HSM-71 spotted the Iranian fishing vessel Al Mamsoor disabled in the Arabian Sea. The vessel was in a sinking condition, and the helicopter alerted the guided-missile destroyer <a href="/wiki/USS_Dewey_(DDG-105)" title="USS Dewey (DDG-105)">Dewey</a> which rendered assistance. Dewey dispatched a visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) team (pictured) which discovered that the Al Mamsoor was in a sinking condition for the previous three days. The VBSS team provided food, water, medical, and hygienic supplies to the Iranian mariners, and after confirming Iranian nationals' safety, departed the scene.<a href="#cite_note-71">[70]</a> On 27 December 2011, Stennis concluded a four-day port visit to <a href="/wiki/Jebel_Ali" title="Jebel Ali">Jebel Ali</a> in the <a href="/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates" title="United Arab Emirates">United Arab Emirates</a>.
