The final countdown for the USS Nimitz

[1srelluc]

A 50 year run....Not bad.

Hey, maybe she'll sail into some weird magnetic storm and come out the other side all shiny and new.

Nimitz 2004

Crew members watch in astonishment as a USO emerges from the ocean , is tracked by fighter planes and photographed .
Hundreds of witnesses .
Over a decde later Pentagon finally confirms that the recordings are genuine and declassified them .

Deniers hate the incident because it cannot be described in any other way than a non terrestrial machine using ZPE energy and as adaptable in air as in water .

50 years....23 deployments does not seem like a lot but considering it takes a couple years for a refit/refuel of a nuke carrier and Nimitz has seen several I guess it's average over it's designed 50 year lifespan.

In March 2025, the Navy announced that Nimitz would deploy one last time, then arrive at her new homeport of Norfolk Naval Station in Virginia no later than 12 April 2026. At that point she will begin the one-year STOP process before shifting to the HII-Newport News shipyard for initial defueling and deactivation... -Wiki

I hope they stop naming them after Presidents. Can you imagine serving on the DEI Obama or the DIE Biden?

John C. Stennis, Democratic Senator from Mississippi. A Nimitz class carrier bears his name.

Along with fellow Mississippi senator James Eastland, Stennis was a zealous supporter of racial segregation. He and Eastland supported the Dixiecrat ticket in 1948 headed by Strom Thurmond and signed the Southern Manifesto, which called for massive resistance to the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.

He also voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Civil Rights Act of 1968. He renounced support for segregation in the early 1980s and supported the extension of the Voting Rights Act in 1982, but voted against the establishment of Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a national holiday, instead favoring a "commemorative day" as he opposed additional federal holidays.

He was also the trial level prosecutor of Brown v. Mississippi (1936). The transcript of the trial indicated Stennis was fully aware that the confession was obtained by subjecting three black defendants to brutal whippings and hanging by the officers.
