No. There was a test deployment in the mid 1970's on another aircraft carrier, USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42), as part of Carrier Air Wing Nineteen (CVW-19). Both ship and air wing have been decommisioned years ago. However it has been done. It was never repeated, I suspect, because of the limited utility of STOVL-type combat jets in an airwing designed for longer range strike. Integration of harriers of STOVL JSF's to a CVW will shrink effective strike range & power and put the ship at risk
All 11 Nimitz class carriers will gradually be replaced with the new Ford class carriers being built by Northrup Grumman. The government will have to spend double and perhaps triple the cost for 11 replacements in order for a greater power projection. Namely, all for the use of the new F-35 Lighting II fighters.
At about 0:35 it says that these are man's largest mobile creations....technically incorrect as some oil tankers are considerably larger...the US carriers are far and away the biggest warships in the world, but not the biggest ships overall. Sorry to nitpick.
Russians were stupid when they cancel building of Ulyanovsk class super carriers

The F-35 is too pricey for the end capability it actually provides. The STOVL variant is the worst offender.

Nopers.
Putting Harrier on a Nimitz would kinda defeat the point.
They use those on smaller heli carriers like Wasp class amphibious assault ship, since they can take off vertically or short range.
