The mission of ''John C. Stennis'' and her air wing ([[CVW-9]]) is to conduct sustained combat air operations while forward-deployed. The embarked air wing consists of eight to nine squadrons. Attached aircraft are Navy and Marine Corps [[F/A-18 Hornet]], [[Boeing EA-18G Growler|EA-18G Growler]], [[Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk|MH-60R]], MH-60S, and [[E-2 Hawkeye|E-2C Hawkeye]].
The air wing can engage enemy aircraft, submarines, and land targets, or lay mines hundreds of miles from the ship. ''John C. Stennis''{{'}}s aircraft are used to conduct strikes, support land battles, protect the battle group or other friendly shipping, and implement a sea or air blockade. The air wing provides a visible presence to demonstrate American power and resolve in a crisis. The ship normally operates as the centerpiece of a [[carrier battle group]] commanded by a [[Flag Officer|flag officer]] embarked upon ''John C. Stennis'' and consisting of four to six other ships.
''John C. Stennis''{{'}}s two [[A4W reactor|nuclear reactors]] give her virtually unlimited range and endurance and a top speed in excess of 30 knots (56 km/h, 34.5 mph). The ship's four catapults and four [[arresting gear]] engines enable her to launch and recover aircraft rapidly and simultaneously. The ship carries approximately {{convert|3|e6USgal|m3}} of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment. ''John C. Stennis'' also has extensive repair capabilities, including a fully equipped Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department, a micro-miniature electronics repair shop, and numerous ship repair shops.
For defense, in addition to her air wing and accompanying vessels, ''John C. Stennis'' has [[NATO]] [[AIM-7 Sparrow|RIM-7 Sea Sparrow]] and [[RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile#Sea RAM|Rolling Airframe Missile]] (RAM) [[surface-to-air missile]] systems, the [[Phalanx CIWS|Phalanx]] [[Close-in weapon system|Close-in Weapons System]] for [[cruise missile]] defense, and the [[AN/SLQ-32]] [[electronic warfare|Electronic Warfare]] System.
==History==
The nuclear-powered USS ''John C. Stennis'' (CVN 74) was contracted on 29 March 1988, and the keel was laid on 13 March 1991 at [[Newport News Shipbuilding]], [[Newport News]], [[Virginia]].
The ship was christened on 11 November 1993, in honor of Senator [[John Cornelius Stennis]] (D-Mississippi) who served in the Senate from 1947 to 1989. The daughter of the ship's namesake, Mrs. Margaret Stennis-Womble, was the ship's sponsor. ''John C. Stennis'' was commissioned on 9 December 1995 at [[Naval Station Norfolk]], Virginia, and she conducted [[flight deck]] certification in January 1996. The first arrested landing was by a [[VX-23]] [[Grumman F-14 Tomcat|F-14]]B. The ship conducted numerous [[Modern US Navy carrier air operations#Carrier qualifications|carrier qualifications]] and independent steaming exercises off the East Coast throughout the next two years. Included among these events was the first carrier landing of an [[F/A-18E/F Super Hornet]] on 18 January 1997.
===1998===
[[File:USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) and HMS Illustrious (R 06) in the Persian Gulf on April 9, 1998.jpg|thumb|left|USS ''John C. Stennis'' (Left) and the British {{sclass|Invincible|aircraft carrier|0}} {{HMS|Illustrious|R06|6}} (right) operating together, April 1998.]]
On 26 February 1998 with [[Carrier Air Wing Seven]] embarked, ''John C. Stennis'' left Norfolk for her maiden deployment, transiting the [[Suez Canal]] on 7 March and arriving in the [[Persian Gulf]] on 11 March 1998. The ship traveled {{cvt|8020|nmi|lk=in}} in 274 hours, an average speed of {{convert|29.4|kn}} to relieve {{USS|George Washington|CVN-73|6}} in conducting [[Operation Southern Watch]] missions. ''John C. Stennis'' departed the Persian Gulf on 19 July 1998 for her new home port of [[Naval Air Station North Island]] in [[San Diego]], California, arriving on 26 August 1998. In October 1998, she entered a six-month maintenance and upgrade period at North Island, returning to sea in April 1999. During the maintenance period, a [[jet blast deflector]] collapsed, severely injuring two sailors.
===1999===
In May 1999, the ship ran aground in a shallow area adjacent to the turning basin near North Island.<ref>{{cite book |title=Japanese Morning Press Highlights |date=2005 |publisher=American Embassy, Tokyo, Public Affairs Section, Office of Translation and Media Analysis |page=63 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I2q6AAAAIAAJ |access-date=24 October 2019}}</ref> Silt clogged the intake pipes to the steam condensing systems for the nuclear reactor plants, causing the carrier's two nuclear reactors to be shut down (one reactor by crew, the other automatically) for a period of 45 minutes. She was towed back to her pier for maintenance and observation for the next two days. The cleanup cost was about $2 million.
===2000===
On 7 January 2000, ''John C. Stennis'' deployed to the Persian Gulf to relieve {{USS|John F. Kennedy|CV-67|6}} in Operation Southern Watch. During the deployment, the ship made port visits to South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Tasmania and Pearl Harbor, before returning to San Diego on 3 July 2000.
Following the [[September 11 attacks]], ''John C. Stennis'' conducted [[Noble Eagle]] missions off the U.S. West Coast. In 2000 and 2001, ''John C. Stennis'' was part of [[Carrier Group 7]].
===2001===
On 21 May 2001, the ship served as "the world's largest and most expensive outdoor theater" for the world premiere of the Disney film ''[[Pearl Harbor (film)|Pearl Harbor]]''. More than 2,000 people attended the premiere on the ship, which had special grandstand seating and one of the world's largest movie screens assembled on the flight deck.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Dao |first1=James |title=Carrier Turns Theater for Premiere of 'Pearl Harbor' |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/22/us/carrier-turns-theater-for-premiere-of-pearl-harbor.html |access-date=15 October 2019 |work=New York Times |date=22 May 2001}}</ref>
On 12 November 2001, two months earlier than scheduled, the ship left on her third deployment to the [[U.S. Fifth Fleet]] area of responsibility in support of [[Operation Enduring Freedom]], returning to San Diego on 28 May 2002. From June 2002 to January 2003, ''JCS'' underwent a seven-month Planned Incremental Availability (PIA).
===2004===
From 24 May to 1 November 2004, ''John C. Stennis'' conducted her fourth major overseas deployment, participating in Exercise Northern Edge 2004 in the Gulf of Alaska, Rim of the Pacific (RimPac) Exercise off Hawaii, exercises with ''Kitty Hawk'' off Japan and goodwill visits to Japan, Malaysia and Western Australia. Shortly after returning from deployment to San Diego, ''JCS'' changed her home port to [[Naval Station Bremerton]], Washington on 19 January 2005. Once at Bremerton, ''John C. Stennis'' underwent an 11-month docking planned incremental availability (DPIA), the first time she had been dry-docked since commissioning. Upgrades included a new mast. The new mast's structure is the first of its kind. A new type of steel alloy was used, making it stiffer and thicker than before. The new mast is also heavier and taller, allowing it to support new antennae the old mast would not have been able to support. Other upgrades included the installation of a new integrated bridge system in the pilothouse that will save manpower and provide state-of-the-art displays.<ref>{{cite web |first=JO3 Chris, USN |last=Gethings |title=Kitsap County Welcomes ''Stennis'' |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=16833 |id=NNS050129-02 |publisher=US Navy |date=29 January 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629060110/http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=16833 |archive-date=29 June 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=JO3 Nick, USN |last=Flabi |title=''Stennis'' Enters Dry Dock |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=16703 |id=NNS050121-11 |publisher=US Navy |date=21 January 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629060212/http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=16703 |archive-date=29 June 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=JO2 (SW/AW) Gabriel, USN |last=Owens |title=''Stennis'' Raises New Mast with Tradition |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=18144 |id=NNS050504-03 |publisher=US Navy |date=4 May 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722214239/http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=18144 |archive-date=22 July 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=JO1 Krishna, USN |last=Jackson |title=''Stennis'' Back in the Water |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=19885 |id=NNS050906-06 |publisher=US Navy |date=6 September 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722214245/http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=19885 |archive-date=22 July 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
Following the maintenance cycle and pre-deployment training exercises, the carrier returned to Bremerton, Washington, and the carrier was certified surge ready, meaning the ship maintained a high state of readiness in case of an unscheduled deployment.<ref>{{cite web |first=MCS2 Christopher, USN |last=Gethings |title=''Stennis'' Returns Home Surge Ready |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=24737 |id=NNS060723-02 |publisher=USS John C.

On 7 January, ''John C. Stennis'' led the rescue of an Iranian-flagged fishing vessel, ''Al Mulahi,'' following her seizure by pirates. The pirates ambushed the ship and Iranian flag to search for other ships to hijack, while holding the original crew hostage. When some of the pirates attempted to board a Bahamian-flagged cargo ship, ''Sunshine'', she radioed for assistance. ''John C. Stennis'' dispatched a helicopter and cruiser to assist. A boarding party captured the pirates who attacked ''Sunshine'', fed them, then released them temporarily. A helicopter then secretly followed the pirates back to their mother ship, ''Al Mulahi''. Crew from the destroyer {{USS|Kidd|DDG-100|6}} then boarded the fishing vessel (upon permission in Urdu from the captain), and arrested all of the pirates with no casualties.<ref>{{cite news |title=For Iranians Waylaid by Pirates, U.S. to the Rescue |first=C.

==Ship's seal==
{{Unreferenced section|date=January 2012}}
[[File:USS John Stennis CVN-74 Crest.png|thumb|right]]
''John C. Stennis''{{'}}s seal was produced from the combined efforts of several crew members with historical help from Stennis Center for Public Service, [[John C. Stennis Space Center]] and United States Senate Historian. The seal implies peace through strength, just as Senator [[John C. Stennis]] was referred to as an "unwavering advocate of peace through strength" by President [[Ronald Reagan]], when the ship's name was announced in June 1988.
The circular shape signifies the ''Nimitz''-class aircraft carrier's unique capability to circle the world without refueling while providing a forward presence from the sea. The predominant colors are red, white, blue and gold, the same as those of the United States and the Navy. The outer border, taken from one version of a [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]] crest, represents the strength through unity of the ship's crew. The four gold bands and eight ties denote John C. Stennis' four decades (41 years) in the Senate and the eight presidents he served with, from President [[Harry S. Truman|Truman]] to President Reagan. The seven stars in the blue border represent his seven terms in the Senate and characterize ''John C. Stennis'' as the seventh ''Nimitz''-class aircraft carrier. The red and white stripes inside the blue border represent the American flag and the American people ''John C. Stennis'' serves. They also honor the courage and sacrifice of the United States' armed forces.
The eagle and shield is a representation of the gilt eagle and shield overlooking the Old Senate Chamber. The shield represents the United States of America. The twenty stars represent the US's twentieth state, [[Mississippi]], the home of John C. Stennis. The three arrows in the eagle's talons symbolize the ship's and air wing's ability to project power. The burst of light emanating from the shield, representative of the emergence of a new nation in the United States Senate Seal, portrays the birth of over 25 major [[Naval aviation|Naval Aviation]] programs under Senator Stennis' leadership, including all aircraft carriers from {{USS|Forrestal|CV-59|6}} to {{USS|Harry S. Truman|CVN-75|6}}, and aircraft from the [[F-4 Phantom]] to the [[F/A-18 Hornet]]. The eagle is representative of John C. Stennis' stature in the Senate, where he was respected and admired as a "soaring eagle" by some of his colleagues.{{Citation needed|date=March 2014}}
The ship herself is pictured in the seal. On the edges of the flight deck are the words "Honor, Courage, Commitment" which are the United States Navy's Core Values.
The seal, after selection by the ship's crew, was submitted to Mrs. Margaret Stennis Womble, the ship's sponsor and daughter of Senator Stennis, and to Mrs. [[John Hampton Stennis]], the matron of honor and wife of Senator Stennis' son, for their approval. In February 1995 they approved the design.
==Ship's name controversy==
The ship's name was originally approved by then-president Ronald Reagan in 1988. As of 2021, the ship's name was the subject of renewed controversy due to Senator Stennis's outspoken opposition to civil rights and racial equality, and his extensive record of legislative support for racial segregation. The controversy is part of a larger reassessment of military bases, ships and other U.S. military assets named after Confederate generals and other persons associated with slavery and racial segregation.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/controversy-over-john-c-stennis-aircraft-carrier-name/ar-BB15ToII |title=Controversy Over John C.

The mission of ''John C. Stennis'' and her air wing ([[CVW-9]]) is to conduct sustained combat air operations while forward-deployed. The embarked air wing consists of eight to nine squadrons. Attached aircraft are Navy and Marine Corps [[F/A-18 Hornet]], [[Boeing EA-18G Growler|EA-18G Growler]], [[Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk|MH-60R]], MH-60S, and [[E-2 Hawkeye|E-2C Hawkeye]].
The air wing can engage enemy aircraft, submarines, and land targets, or lay mines hundreds of miles from the ship. ''John C. Stennis''{{'}}s aircraft are used to conduct strikes, support land battles, protect the battle group or other friendly shipping, and implement a sea or air blockade. The air wing provides a visible presence to demonstrate American power and resolve in a crisis. The ship normally operates as the centerpiece of a [[carrier battle group]] commanded by a [[Flag Officer|flag officer]] embarked upon ''John C. Stennis'' and consisting of four to six other ships.
''John C. Stennis''{{'}}s two [[A4W reactor|nuclear reactors]] give her virtually unlimited range and endurance and a top speed in excess of 30 knots (56 km/h, 34.5 mph). The ship's four catapults and four [[arresting gear]] engines enable her to launch and recover aircraft rapidly and simultaneously. The ship carries approximately {{convert|3|e6USgal|m3}} of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment. ''John C. Stennis'' also has extensive repair capabilities, including a fully equipped Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department, a micro-miniature electronics repair shop, and numerous ship repair shops.
For defense, in addition to her air wing and accompanying vessels, ''John C. Stennis'' has [[NATO]] [[AIM-7 Sparrow|RIM-7 Sea Sparrow]] and [[RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile#Sea RAM|Rolling Airframe Missile]] (RAM) [[surface-to-air missile]] systems, the [[Phalanx CIWS|Phalanx]] [[Close-in weapon system|Close-in Weapons System]] for [[cruise missile]] defense, and the [[AN/SLQ-32]] [[electronic warfare|Electronic Warfare]] System.
==History==
The nuclear-powered USS ''John C. Stennis'' (CVN 74) was contracted on 29 March 1988, and the keel was laid on 13 March 1991 at [[Newport News Shipbuilding]], [[Newport News]], [[Virginia]].
The ship was christened on 11 November 1993, in honor of Senator [[John Cornelius Stennis]] (D-Mississippi) who served in the Senate from 1947 to 1989. The daughter of the ship's namesake, Mrs. Margaret Stennis-Womble, was the ship's sponsor. ''John C. Stennis'' was commissioned on 9 December 1995 at [[Naval Station Norfolk]], Virginia, and she conducted [[flight deck]] certification in January 1996. The first arrested landing was by a [[VX-23]] [[Grumman F-14 Tomcat|F-14]]B. The ship conducted numerous [[Modern US Navy carrier air operations#Carrier qualifications|carrier qualifications]] and independent steaming exercises off the East Coast throughout the next two years. Included among these events was the first carrier landing of an [[F/A-18E/F Super Hornet]] on 18 January 1997.
===1998===

On 26 February 1998 with [[Carrier Air Wing Seven]] embarked, ''John C. Stennis'' left Norfolk for her maiden deployment, transiting the [[Suez Canal]] on 7 March and arriving in the [[Persian Gulf]] on 11 March 1998. The ship traveled {{cvt|8020|nmi|lk=in}} in 274 hours, an average speed of {{convert|29.4|kn}} to relieve {{USS|George Washington|CVN-73|6}} in conducting [[Operation Southern Watch]] missions. ''John C. Stennis'' departed the Persian Gulf on 19 July 1998 for her new home port of [[Naval Air Station North Island]] in [[San Diego]], California, arriving on 26 August 1998. In October 1998, she entered a six-month maintenance and upgrade period at North Island, returning to sea in April 1999. During the maintenance period, a [[jet blast deflector]] collapsed, severely injuring two sailors.
===1999===
In May 1999, the ship ran aground in a shallow area adjacent to the turning basin near North Island.<ref>{{cite book |title=Japanese Morning Press Highlights |date=2005 |publisher=American Embassy, Tokyo, Public Affairs Section, Office of Translation and Media Analysis |page=63 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I2q6AAAAIAAJ |access-date=24 October 2019}}</ref> Silt clogged the intake pipes to the steam condensing systems for the nuclear reactor plants, causing the carrier's two nuclear reactors to be shut down (one reactor by crew, the other automatically) for a period of 45 minutes. She was towed back to her pier for maintenance and observation for the next two days. The cleanup cost was about $2 million.
===2000===
On 7 January 2000, ''John C. Stennis'' deployed to the Persian Gulf to relieve {{USS|John F. Kennedy|CV-67|6}} in Operation Southern Watch. During the deployment, the ship made port visits to South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Tasmania and Pearl Harbor, before returning to San Diego on 3 July 2000.
Following the [[September 11 attacks]], ''John C. Stennis'' conducted [[Noble Eagle]] missions off the U.S. West Coast. In 2000 and 2001, ''John C. Stennis'' was part of [[Carrier Group 7]].
===2001===
On 21 May 2001, the ship served as "the world's largest and most expensive outdoor theater" for the world premiere of the Disney film ''[[Pearl Harbor (film)|Pearl Harbor]]''. More than 2,000 people attended the premiere on the ship, which had special grandstand seating and one of the world's largest movie screens assembled on the flight deck.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Dao |first1=James |title=Carrier Turns Theater for Premiere of 'Pearl Harbor' |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/22/us/carrier-turns-theater-for-premiere-of-pearl-harbor.html |access-date=15 October 2019 |work=New York Times |date=22 May 2001}}</ref>
On 12 November 2001, two months earlier than scheduled, the ship left on her third deployment to the [[U.S. Fifth Fleet]] area of responsibility in support of [[Operation Enduring Freedom]], returning to San Diego on 28 May 2002. From June 2002 to January 2003, ''JCS'' underwent a seven-month Planned Incremental Availability (PIA).
===2004===
From 24 May to 1 November 2004, ''John C. Stennis'' conducted her fourth major overseas deployment, participating in Exercise Northern Edge 2004 in the Gulf of Alaska, Rim of the Pacific (RimPac) Exercise off Hawaii, exercises with ''Kitty Hawk'' off Japan and goodwill visits to Japan, Malaysia and Western Australia. Shortly after returning from deployment to San Diego, ''JCS'' changed her home port to [[Naval Station Bremerton]], Washington on 19 January 2005. Once at Bremerton, ''John C. Stennis'' underwent an 11-month docking planned incremental availability (DPIA), the first time she had been dry-docked since commissioning. Upgrades included a new mast. The new mast's structure is the first of its kind. A new type of steel alloy was used, making it stiffer and thicker than before. The new mast is also heavier and taller, allowing it to support new antennae the old mast would not have been able to support. Other upgrades included the installation of a new integrated bridge system in the pilothouse that will save manpower and provide state-of-the-art displays.<ref>{{cite web |first=JO3 Chris, USN |last=Gethings |title=Kitsap County Welcomes ''Stennis'' |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=16833 |id=NNS050129-02 |publisher=US Navy |date=29 January 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629060110/http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=16833 |archive-date=29 June 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=JO3 Nick, USN |last=Flabi |title=''Stennis'' Enters Dry Dock |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=16703 |id=NNS050121-11 |publisher=US Navy |date=21 January 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629060212/http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=16703 |archive-date=29 June 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=JO2 (SW/AW) Gabriel, USN |last=Owens |title=''Stennis'' Raises New Mast with Tradition |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=18144 |id=NNS050504-03 |publisher=US Navy |date=4 May 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722214239/http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=18144 |archive-date=22 July 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=JO1 Krishna, USN |last=Jackson |title=''Stennis'' Back in the Water |url=http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=19885 |id=NNS050906-06 |publisher=US Navy |date=6 September 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722214245/http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=19885 |archive-date=22 July 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

==Ship's seal==
{{Unreferenced section|date=January 2012}}
[[File:USS John Stennis CVN-74 Crest.png|thumb|right]]
''John C. Stennis''{{'}}s seal was produced from the combined efforts of several crew members with historical help from Stennis Center for Public Service, [[John C. Stennis Space Center]] and United States Senate Historian. The seal implies peace through strength, just as Senator [[John C. Stennis]] was referred to as an "unwavering advocate of peace through strength" by President [[Ronald Reagan]], when the ship's name was announced in June 1988.
The circular shape signifies the ''Nimitz''-class aircraft carrier's unique capability to circle the world without refueling while providing a forward presence from the sea. The predominant colors are red, white, blue and gold, the same as those of the United States and the Navy. The outer border, taken from one version of a [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]] crest, represents the strength through unity of the ship's crew. The four gold bands and eight ties denote John C. Stennis' four decades (41 years) in the Senate and the eight presidents he served with, from President [[Harry S. Truman|Truman]] to President Reagan. The seven stars in the blue border represent his seven terms in the Senate and characterize ''John C. Stennis'' as the seventh ''Nimitz''-class aircraft carrier. The red and white stripes inside the blue border represent the American flag and the American people ''John C. Stennis'' serves. They also honor the courage and sacrifice of the United States' armed forces.
The eagle and shield is a representation of the gilt eagle and shield overlooking the Old Senate Chamber. The shield represents the United States of America. The twenty stars represent the US's twentieth state, [[Mississippi]], the home of John C. Stennis. The three arrows in the eagle's talons symbolize the ship's and air wing's ability to project power. The burst of light emanating from the shield, representative of the emergence of a new nation in the United States Senate Seal, portrays the birth of over 25 major [[Naval aviation|Naval Aviation]] programs under Senator Stennis' leadership, including all aircraft carriers from {{USS|Forrestal|CV-59|6}} to {{USS|Harry S. Truman|CVN-75|6}}, and aircraft from the [[F-4 Phantom]] to the [[F/A-18 Hornet]]. The eagle is representative of John C. Stennis' stature in the Senate, where he was respected and admired as a "soaring eagle" by some of his colleagues.{{Citation needed|date=March 2014}}
The ship herself is pictured in the seal. On the edges of the flight deck are the words "Honor, Courage, Commitment" which are the United States Navy's Core Values.
The seal, after selection by the ship's crew, was submitted to Mrs. Margaret Stennis Womble, the ship's sponsor and daughter of Senator Stennis, and to Mrs. [[John Hampton Stennis]], the matron of honor and wife of Senator Stennis' son, for their approval. In February 1995 they approved the design.
==Ship's name controversy==
The ship's name was originally approved by then-president Ronald Reagan in 1988. As of 2021, the ship's name was the subject of renewed controversy due to Senator Stennis's outspoken opposition to civil rights and racial equality, and his extensive record of legislative support for racial segregation. The controversy is part of a larger reassessment of military bases, ships and other U.S. military assets named after Confederate generals and other persons associated with slavery and racial segregation.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/controversy-over-john-c-stennis-aircraft-carrier-name/ar-BB15ToII |title=Controversy Over John C.

The embarked air wing consists of eight to nine squadrons. Attached aircraft are Navy and Marine Corps <a href="/enwiki/wiki/F/A-18_Hornet" class="mw-redirect" title="F/A-18 Hornet">F/A-18 Hornet</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Boeing_EA-18G_Growler" title="Boeing EA-18G Growler">EA-18G Growler</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Sikorsky_SH-60_Seahawk" title="Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk">MH-60R</a>, MH-60S, and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/E-2_Hawkeye" class="mw-redirect" title="E-2 Hawkeye">E-2C Hawkeye</a>.
</p><p>The air wing can engage enemy aircraft, submarines, and land targets, or lay mines hundreds of miles from the ship. <i>John C.

The ship's four catapults and four <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Arresting_gear" title="Arresting gear">arresting gear</a> engines enable her to launch and recover aircraft rapidly and simultaneously. The ship carries approximately 3 million US gallons (11,000 m<sup>3</sup>) of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment. <i>John C.

<p><i>John C. Stennis</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s seal was produced from the combined efforts of several crew members with historical help from Stennis Center for Public Service, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/John_C._Stennis_Space_Center" class="mw-redirect" title="John C. Stennis Space Center">John C. Stennis Space Center</a> and United States Senate Historian. The seal implies peace through strength, just as Senator <a href="/enwiki/wiki/John_C._Stennis" title="John C. Stennis">John C. Stennis</a> was referred to as an "unwavering advocate of peace through strength" by President <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a>, when the ship's name was announced in June 1988.
</p><p>The circular shape signifies the <i>Nimitz</i>-class aircraft carrier's unique capability to circle the world without refueling while providing a forward presence from the sea. The predominant colors are red, white, blue and gold, the same as those of the United States and the Navy. The outer border, taken from one version of a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/United_States_Senate" title="United States Senate">U.S. Senate</a> crest, represents the strength through unity of the ship's crew. The four gold bands and eight ties denote John C. Stennis' four decades (41 years) in the Senate and the eight presidents he served with, from President <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Harry_S._Truman" title="Harry S. Truman">Truman</a> to President Reagan. The seven stars in the blue border represent his seven terms in the Senate and characterize <i>John C. Stennis</i> as the seventh <i>Nimitz</i>-class aircraft carrier. The red and white stripes inside the blue border represent the American flag and the American people <i>John C. Stennis</i> serves. They also honor the courage and sacrifice of the United States' armed forces.
</p><p>The eagle and shield is a representation of the gilt eagle and shield overlooking the Old Senate Chamber. The shield represents the United States of America. The twenty stars represent the US's twentieth state, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Mississippi" title="Mississippi">Mississippi</a>, the home of John C. Stennis. The three arrows in the eagle's talons symbolize the ship's and air wing's ability to project power. The burst of light emanating from the shield, representative of the emergence of a new nation in the United States Senate Seal, portrays the birth of over 25 major <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Naval_aviation" title="Naval aviation">Naval Aviation</a> programs under Senator Stennis' leadership, including all aircraft carriers from <a href="/enwiki/wiki/USS_Forrestal_(CV-59)" class="mw-redirect" title="USS Forrestal (CV-59)">USS <i>Forrestal</i></a> to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/USS_Harry_S._Truman_(CVN-75)" class="mw-redirect" title="USS Harry S.

The eagle is representative of John C. Stennis' stature in the Senate, where he was respected and admired as a "soaring eagle" by some of his colleagues.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

</p><p>The ship herself is pictured in the seal. On the edges of the flight deck are the words "Honor, Courage, Commitment" which are the United States Navy's Core Values.
</p><p>The seal, after selection by the ship's crew, was submitted to Mrs. Margaret Stennis Womble, the ship's sponsor and daughter of Senator Stennis, and to Mrs. <a href="/enwiki/wiki/John_Hampton_Stennis" class="mw-redirect" title="John Hampton Stennis">John Hampton Stennis</a>, the matron of honor and wife of Senator Stennis' son, for their approval. In February 1995 they approved the design.

<p>The ship's name was originally approved by then-president Ronald Reagan in 1988. As of 2021, the ship's name was the subject of renewed controversy due to Senator Stennis's outspoken opposition to civil rights and racial equality, and his extensive record of legislative support for racial segregation. The controversy is part of a larger reassessment of military bases, ships and other U.S. military assets named after Confederate generals and other persons associated with slavery and racial segregation.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a></sup>
