Yup. Standard for nuclear aircraft carriers.

Yes, you did. Way cool.

It's a nuclear powered craft - and yes, it's 20 years before it will need refueling.

Nuclear power makes sense, which is why liberals will never understand it.

Just sit and think about how much energy it takes to shove that floating city through the ocean at its top speed!

I'm not usually one for religious pronoucements, but I have this suspicion that G-d designed the uranium atom to allow every last human being living on earth, and eventually throughout the solar system, to have all the energy they need until the Sun burns out, but like all of G-d's significant gifts, it is morally neutral and it is up to us to use it properly.
