Nimitz-Class Supercarriers: San Diego, CA

The USS Ronald Reagan, USS Nimitz, USS Stennis, and USS Washington, all of them filmed here in San Diego, 2007-2009. One thousand ninety two feet in length, each with over five thousand hard working, dedicated, servicemen and women.

Update: I now have new films which also include two other aircraft carriers - the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70 and the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-74, which can be viewed at my YouTube channel.

Does "super" mean that it's also nuclear powered?

[TallSky]

@ChicaWolverina Pretty much so, the ten Nimitz class carriers each have two nuclear powered engines, and are a little larger than the previous class carrier (among other specs). The "super" part is something I see in the media (such as the discovery and military channel). I've never heard Navy personnel actually use the term.

@TallSky Ok thanks!~ Why do the tugboats spout water out like that, is it for cooling?

[TallSky]

@ChicaWolverina - It's a salute - a welcoming home salute; a display of respect.

im 14, my dads a servicemen with the national guard, and i plan to join up as well. and @Millerjeffrey1968 each Nimitz is about 100,000 long tons displacment, yes

[Millerjeffrey1968]

@steve1mufc I think the HMS Illustrious Is still in commision. Not as large as the Nimitz class but still a great carrier. I think the Illustrious is around 25000 tons displacement. The Nimitz class is somewhere in the 100000 ton range(I think).
