That would be the one Nimitz class carrier we have there. (I forgot which 
ship it is.) The Nimitz class is our current class of CVNs. They are the 
largest carriers in our fleet (by displacement, I know the Enterprise is 
longer.) They can carrier more aircraft fuel/weapons due to the fact that
they only have two reactors and they don't need to carry fuel for themselves.
Although carriers do carry some fuel for its escorts most of the time.
In case they can't be reached by a fleet oiler.
P.S. Nice to see another NHS grad on the nets. (Left a.s.h hmm?)
