A sailor from west Georgia died Friday while on liberty in the United Arab Emirates.
Petty Officer 1st Class Paris S. Pough, 40, of Columbus, died during a port visit in Dubai.
Pough was a hull technician on the USS Carl Vinson.
The Navy hasn't said how Pough died, but a posting on the aircraft carrier's Facebook page said he died "as a result of a non-combat related incident while on liberty."
The Facebook posting said that Pough was a "loving father and husband" and a "hard-working, trustworthy shipmate who was critical to the success of the Engineering Department."
