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 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.
