USS Harry S. Truman (CVN75)

Welcome aboard the USS Harry S. Truman!

It's the ninth nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the US Navy After commissioning on July 25, 1998, Truman homeported in Norfolk, VA. A Nimitz-class super carrier, it is powered by two Westinghouse nuclear reactors that drive four steam turbines and propellers, moving the 100,000-ton ship at speeds of more than 30 knots. It is 1 096 feet long and 257 feet wide at its widest point. With the Air Wing on board, Truman carriers more than 5 000 people and more than 70 combat and support aircraft.

Here's the USS Enterprise I had the privilege to tour a while ago.

Hope everyone has a good weekend so far ... !
