That's a great pic, max. It's encouraging to see this great ship going to lend a hand.

You obviously don't know what a Navy ship...let alone a US Navy carrier...with a crew of able sailors, is capable of doing.Originally posted by tonys

That ship by itself is a floating city. It can make fresh water from the sea far beyond its own needs, provide medical assistance, dispatch men and women into the stricken areas skilled in many areas, and set to many other tasks upon arrival. Food delivery, perhaps, as well as water.
Oh yeah...could even send out a helicopter or two for rescue operations...you think?

How about its helicopters and world class on board hospital and five thousand Sailors and Marines to lend a hand?
I hope you were only kidding and not really that up tight.

Don't forget, without the full air wing onboard there will be a few thousand bunks, showers, and meals avaliable for the passengers.

In reality if she had full air wing on board it would only be about 85 to 90 aircraft but the extra man power and services provided will be help full, plus you can pack a whole grocery store in the store rooms plus the hanger bay as well.Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
