That USS Washington is one huge ship! I am trying to wrap my mind around its dimensions.....a 4.5 acre flight deck! I have 4.17 acres here, and I still can't envision a ship that large. And ONE Link of its anchor chain weighing 360 lbs. Whew. And being able to travel one million miles w/o refueling. Double whew!

I am trying to wrap my mind around its dimensions

When I read the dimensions my eyes glaze over. I still don't understand how it floats even though poor Mr. Betty has explained it over and over. It makes sense to me, just seems impossible when you see how big it is.
