The stats and numbers that surround the Nimitz class are simply staggering. They cost billions of dollars, are over 300 meters long, 40 meters wide, displace over 100,000 tons, can carry up to 85 aircraft, can operate for 20 years without refueling and carry over 5,000 men and women - making the Nimitz class one of the most spectacular feats of naval engineering, and one of the most awesome sights in military history.
