That boat has got to be in awful shape by now
It is ancient
Hey,c'mon.Why I remember many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners on board Nimitz.
If Nimitz is ancient then what am I...er,never mind.
Actually I served aboard Nimitz from '79 to '83,as well as seven other carriers going back to the Fifties...so I guess I qualify as "ancient" too. Just remember ships can age well as also people can They both just need some time in the yards for overhaul and re-fitting from time to time.
FWIW I just had a refit in the form of a triple by-pass,so I'm good for a few more tours...just like the Nimitz!
Nimitz commissioned in early 70s The ship have gone through major overhauls and probably in better shape
than some commissioned later now scrap.
It is good thing you don’t know what you speak of.
