USS Nimitz stands 24 stories high, is as long as the Empire State Building is tall, and is as lethal as she is massive. Armed with 75 supersonic fighter jets, she has spent the last 30-plus years warning potential enemies that America means business. Hop aboard as she prepares for deployment to the Arabian Sea near Afghanistan. Meet an untested junior pilot, a shooter who catapults jets off the flight deck - the most dangerous workplace in the world - and of course the captain, who needs to get his crew of 5,000 ready for combat.
