Nimitz-class carrier CVN-71 Theodore Roosevelt: big, fast, powerful and impressive in every way. These photos are from May 2006 in Norfolk, Virginia. #shipsinpics #ships #shipping #shipspotting #maritime
Let it sink in that the 105,000-ton CVN-71 could race probably any WWII 30+ ton tank like the Panther, Sherman, T-34, etc. and win. And while they'd run out of fuel after several hours, Roosevelt could theoretically maintain 35 mph for 25 years or about 7,665,000 miles! :)
