IF they Kitty Hawk is coming out of Japan... and a nuke is going in... it has to be the Nimitz. The Navy has a habit of putting the oldest carriers there... Looks like my old ship is going overseas...

Well, who knows. The only reason the Navy has a "habit of putting the oldest carriers there" is because there hasn't been a conventionally powered supercarrier built since the 60's. Any carrier based out of Japan had to be old.

Nimitz...hmmm. Wasn't he the guy who maybe led the USN in a long and bloody fight in the Pacific against an aggressor nation sometime ago. Can't remember who that nation was though. /sarc

Nimitz is based here in San Diego along with the Ronald Reagan
It won't be either of these ships.

The Enterprise is older than the Nimitz.
