The Big E is big alright, but it’s not the largest carrier in the fleet - is it?

I may be wrong, but I thought it was the Reagan.
What does Debka know anyway? They just like to “start stuff”.

I think she still has the longest flight deck, but her displacement (which is what most size comparisons take into account) is smaller than the Nimitz's.

Its clearly on par with the Nimitz class. The Nimitz carriers have a little more tonnage, but end to end, the Enterprise is the longest warship in the world.

I thought that the Nimitz class were the biggest. I have read that the Big E is the fastest. Supposedly has four reactors and is a screaming meemee.
