The Aircraft Carriers (1x13)

Air date: Nov 12, 1996

Roaming majestically over the oceans of the world, the modern Aircraft Carrier is the largest warship ever to sail the seas. Displacing over 90 thousand tons, more than 1,000 feet long and over 200 feet wide, with 4 acres of armoured steel flight deck towering above the water, a nuclear powered NIMTZ class Carrier can transport 6,000 men on a voyage of over one million nautical miles at top speeds exceeding 40 knots.
