Barack Obama will attend November's Carrier Classic basketball game between North Carolina and Michigan State on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson.

The game will played on Nov. 11 and seating will be setup for 7,000 spectators.

Obama is expected to lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of Veterans Day and then travel to San Diego for the first college hoops game on an active flat top.

“He looks forward to a great game," the White House said in a released statement.

The Carl Vinson was the carrier that conducted the burial at sea of Osama bin Laden.
