USS Nimitz (CVN 68)

October 8, 2005 - The USS Nimitz (CVN 68) comes to town...well, almost. It was positioned just off the port of Fremantle, as it is a nuclear-powered warship. It's friendly US crew did, of course, come ashore via smaller transport vessels.

The USS Nimitz is truly an amazing warship - one of the largest in the world. It can carry 90 aircraft, measures slightly over 330m in length and is powered by two nuclear reactors.
