On back: "COMMANDING OFFICER, USS CARL VINSON (CVN 70), FLEET POST OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO, 96629. August 23, 1986. Mr. Emmet Condon, Fire Chief, 260 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. Dear Mr. Condon, Enclosed is a photograph of the ship taken from our helo as we sailed out of the San Francisco Bay on Tuesday the 12th of August. We are all looking forward to our return to San Francisco and home in February. We have enjoyed the fireboat displays that you have been kind enough to provide during our arrivals and departures. They do bring a lift to my crew and I value and appreciate them. Thank you. Sincerely, GEORGE O'BRIEN, JR., Captain, U.S. Navy."
