132,000,000 million miles in 30 years...well now, that is what I call full speed ahead!

At continuous sea duty with ZERO ports of call, that is 12,054.8 miles in one day. With 24 hours in one day, that is 502.3 miles per hour.

Damn, now that is high tech! No wonder the U.S. wanted to keep some specs classified. OK you Ruskies and Chicoms, let's see you build a Nimitz Class carrier that can beat ours--say, 503.3 miles per hour!

Remember that movie with Kirk Douglas on the USS Nimitz? No wonder there was a time warp in that movie.

Two nuclear reactors, or possibly dilithium crystals?

502.3 miles per hour. Fascinating.
