#8 Outstanding pics, and thanks John!

Interesting just how big the Nimitz is compared to Varaat, and Varaat is not a small ship.

What's really scary is that there are cargo ships larger than the Nimitz - mostly built by the Japanese and the Koreans. I doubt it would take much for the Japanese to build equally large aircraft carriers and crew them. I hope in the end we either sell them the FULL plans for the "Kitty Hawk" class, or sell them the Sh$$$y Kitty for them to use as a model/training ship.

#14 The blue signifies that the weapon or round is inert - used for training only.
