~280,000+ HP........nobody in the world wants to "race"! :-)
 "95,000 tons of diplomacy. 4.5 acres of sovereign U.S. territory anywhere, any time. The most powerful weapons system on the planet." Propulsion system: Two nuclear power plants Main Engines: Four Speed: 30+ Knots (34.5 Mph) Actual Top Speed Classified Cost: about $4.5 billion Propellers: Four Blades on each Propeller: Five Aircraft elevators: Four Catapults: Four Arresting gear cables: Four Overall length: 1,092 feet Overall width: 252 feet Beam at waterline: 134 feet Area of flight deck: About 4.5 acres Full load displacement: About 95,000 tons Accommodations: About 6,000 persons More stats on the Nimitz (which as of September 2001 will be homeported in San Diego, CA): Nimitz reaches over 18 stories high from the keel to the top of the mast. The Hangar Bay extends for most of the ship's length. It is used for major repair and shelters the aircraft not needed for that day's flight schedule. Eight steam turbine generators each produce 8,000 kilowatts of electrical power, enough to serve a small city. Four distilling units enable Nimitz engineers to make over 400,000 gallons of fresh water a day, for use by the propulsion plants, catapults and crew. Nimitz' self-defense measures include: missiles, guns, and electronic warfare. The NATO Sea Sparrow Missile System is comprised of two launchers with eight missiles each. Sea Sparrow is a radar-guided, short-to-medium range missile capable of engaging aircraft and cruise missiles. Nimitz' Food Services Department provides 18,000-20,000 meals a day. Nimitz can stock at least 90 days of refrigerated and dry storage goods. Literally tons of wash are done every day by Nimitz' laundry, dry cleaning and tailoring services personnel. Nimitz' two barber shops trim over 1,500 heads each week. The Post Office processes more than one million pounds of mail each year. The ship has a fully equipped dental facility, staffed by five dentists. The Medical Department is manned by six doctors including a surgeon, who provide everything from surgery to hydro-therapy. The ship also features an 80-bed hospital ward, and acts as the hospital ship for the entire battle group.

What's it's name? Or is it the USS Nimitz, cause the term Nimtiz generally refers to any Nuclear powered class of aircraft Carrier I'm told. BTW, where are all of the PLanes? Do they keep all of them below the flight deck when docking?

Imagine having that thing all to yourself. I'd do some creative knocking down of walls and make some massive rooms. Imagine the parties. Ooo, imagine the decorating you could do.
Sorry, did I sound fruity?
