Just to give you an idea of the size of the Nimitz, here's a photo of the Ark Royal and the Nimitz side by side in Norfolk Virginia in 1978, it's flight deck was at least 1 or 2 decks above ours.

Doug,
I stand humbly corrected. But you are right. Still impressive. I would love to be aboard for trials, just once.

Great vid Jonathan👍
But not where my pic came from.
My pic is of Nimitz, CVN68, the vid is of Gerald Ford CVN78, apparently doing similar trials.
Cheers, Doug 😎

How to do a handbrake turn in an aircraft carrier! I wonder if that's in the official manual.

Hi Doug,
A really impressive picture of the Nimitz, that's more like a handbrake turn 😊

Aha! Your filing system is similar to mine Cam👍
Borrowed from Sherlock Holmes; depth of dust equates to date of filing!😁
Yes, I am actually in München, on the east side close to the Ostpark with lake and Biergarten.
Prost! 😉
My humble abode/workshop is down near the bottom left hand corner of referenced Google Maps sat pic.
Viele Grüße, Doug 😎
