200406-N-YI115-1026 BREMERTON, Wash. (April 6, 2020) Seaman Kenneth Thomas, a native of Prince George, Va., takes readings from an alidade aboard Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) as the ship moves out of Dry Dock 6 at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility. Alidades measure, in degrees, the ship’s direction in relation to fixed locations on the surrounding land, and watch standers use a mathematical formula to locate the ship’s geological position to ensure safe transit. Vinson has completed the dry docked portion of its scheduled maintenance and will complete the rest of the availability floating pierside in Bremerton, Wash.
