In May 1983 I had the privilege of serving on the USS-Nimitz (CVN-68), as part of my Navy ROTC training. Today it’s the third oldest aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy. It went into service in 1975. The time it took to put it into service, from order to commissioning, was eight years. With the Cold War at its hottest in the 1980s, the goal was to ramp up to 15 aircraft carriers. Using the old life estimate of 45 years, to achieve the 15-carrier fleet, you need to start building one every... Read Full Story

Coverage of one particular story today should have dominated programming. It is a story that directly impacts our national defense and economy, and yet no one seemed to notice. The lack of coverage for this story forever proves the vapidity of the liberal media. The United States Navy has announced the USS ENTERPRISE will be joining the USS STENNIS and USS NIMITZ in the Persian Gulf. The addition of a third American aircraft carrier to the region enhances an already overwhelming air... Read Full Story

It seems that the Soviet Union Russia is trying to resurrect the days of the Cold War. For the second time in the last 30 days, Soviet Russian bombers have approached the USS Nimitz carrier group while it has been operating near Korea. Today, a Soviet Russian bomber flew within 3 to 5 nautical miles and 2100 feet of the USS Nimitz.
