Newsflash: US aircraft carriers no longer carry nuclear weapons, and have not done so since 1991.

Ask the folks on the carrier.

The USN policy when nukes were carried was "Neither Confirm Nor Deny," usually just referred to as NCND.

Now, they'll tell you that they don't have 'em in the magazine, and thank God for that, because it leaves space for weapons that they'll actually use.

The reduction in the size of the aircraft carrier MARDETs is another clue.
