USS Nimitz

Posted on April 29, 2008 | Comments Off on USS Nimitz

The carrier was named for World War II leader Chester Nimitz, of the Hill Country town of Fredericksburg. But the crew consider the ship’s name to be an acronym for Never Imagined Myself In This Zoo. More in a good video not to miss.

    Proves the C-130 can takeoff and land on a carrier if it’s ever needed. Reminds me of the B-25s that raided Tokyo in 1942, taking off from a carrier. Of course they didn’t try making any landings on one.
