I had an opportunity to go on the USS NIMITZ couple years ago. My friend brother is 1st in command on the aircraft carrier. Fun trip for sure, and food was good too. Since we were with the high ranking officer we were treated like king. And food and cigar was awesome. This ship haul a$$ for it size, after we left San Diego harbor we got pass SCI in less then two hours. Talk longer to untie from dock to get on our way.....
Wanted to share some pictures of my trip.
