A CV is a Curriculum Vitae.
A curriculum vitae (CV) provides an overview of a person's experience and other qualifications. In some countries, a CV is typically the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview, when seeking employment. The curriculum vitae is comparable to a résumé in many countries, although in English Canada and the United States it is substantially different.

The first thought that popped into my head when I saw it was, "what in the world has Gob asking about an aircraft carrier?"

CV and resume are non synonymous in the US. The former is a far more extensive recitation of professional experience, running to several pages, and is generally utilized by academics and medical/mental health professionals. The latter is usually a 2-3 page document at most, where brevity is the norm.
