Subject: USS Nimitz nuclear powered aircraft carrier on PBS....



Anyone been watching this 10 episode show on the Navy aircraft carrier? I find it interesting. Just the size of the thing is mind boggling. The deck is a runway that covers 4.5 acres. Carries a crew of 5000+ and provisions for a 6 month deployment. Everythng strives to work in harmony to support of the mission of 60 fighter jets @ $40M each.

I can watch the same episode several times and pick up on new details because the show is quite fast paced at times. The current episode I'm watching they are deployed in the Persian Gulf backing up troops on the ground.
