100,000 tons is actually 200,000,000 pounds.

whoops, I think you meant to say "if a couple Iranian Silkworm missiles somehow managed to make it past the CBG's defenses her sisters would show up within the week and finish the entire nation to a fine grey ash"

Love us, or hate us, I can assure you that nothing gives you more of a sense of pride than having served in the United States Navy. As I age I begin to realize the influence the Navy had on my career, my life and my ability to succeed. It is possibly the only time where you really believe you are doing something significant and can have the pride throughout your entire life knowing you did something unselfish for your country, your family and yourself. You carry it to your Veterans grave.

The Nimitz class can go about 31-33 knots depending on hull condition. I believe the Enterprise may be a little faster because of her hull design, said to be more of a "cruiser" design, which to me means longer and thinner (less drag). Reports of 50- 60 mph or knots is just BS.. They do have about 300,000 hp but that just aint enough to make 100k tons go that fast.

[treasureis1]

100 knot is top speed, but this is very TOP secret so DON'T YOU TELL ANYONE ! (I read it on the internet).
