"Peace Through Strength"
I am so excited to get on a welcome party for USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) yesterday, which they will stay in HK about 4-5 days and they will go to Hawaii next stop.
This warship is huge, give you some ideas as: Flight Deck is 1092 feet long (~3 football fields) and cover 4.5 acres ; Aircraft: Typically more than 80 combat aircraft; 722 ton bulbous bow makes the forward end of the ship more stable, especially during rough seas; 2 nuclear reactors that can operate for more than 20 years without refueling.
First time to touch and feel the Power of Navy, to me, it is just a mobile island with weapons. It is a giant, and you don't really want to make him angry.
Thanks Craig for giving us a tour of the Ship, you are so nice. :)
And thanks Kath again, xox
