USS Carl Vinson is the third US Navy Nimitz-class supercarrier and is named after Carl Vinson, a Congressman from Georgia, in recognition of his contributions to the US Navy. The strike group includes the Carl Vinson, several guided-missile destroyers and a guided-missile cruiser, according to a statement on the navy’s website. North Korea conducted another ballistic missile test on April 5, shortly before Xi and Trump met. North Korea said Sunday that US missile strikes against Syria last week were “absolutely unpardonable,” according to a Korean Central News Agency report citing a foreign ministry spokesman. North Korea will bolster its capacity to protect itself from “reckless moves,” the spokesman was quoted as saying.
