Nimitz-class Aircraft Carrier

The Nimitz-class aircraft carriers are a series of nuclear-powered warships operated by the United States Navy. These massive vessels serve as floating airbases, capable of carrying around 60 aircraft, including fighter jets and helicopters. They play a crucial role in naval operations, allowing the U.S. to project military power worldwide. Each carrier is about 1,100 feet long, nearly as long as the Empire State Building is tall, and can accommodate a crew of about 5,000 personnel. Their nuclear reactors provide virtually unlimited energy, enabling them to operate for many years without refueling.
